Description

Hitman Pro is a second opinion scanner, designed to rescue your computer from nasty viruses, spyware, trojans, rootkits, and other threats, that have infected your computer despite all the security measures you have taken (such as anti virus software, firewalls, etc.).



Key Features:



Behavioural Scan

SurfRight has done an extensive research of malware files to determine the common characteristics (behaviour) of malware. The Hitman Pro client uses this research in its Behavioural Scan, when it scans the computer for virus activities or suspicous files that have the characteristics of malware. Click here for more details about the Behavioural Scan.



Scan Cloud

For the files that are classified as suspicious, the Hitman Pro client sends a request to the Scan Cloud for confirmation if these files are indeed malicious. The Scan Cloud is a cluster of multiple computers, residing on the Internet. The Scan Cloud will respond to this request with the answer: Safe, Malicious, Unknown.



Malware Removal

When the file is classified as malicious by the Scan Cloud, the Hitman Pro client is placing the infection into quarantine. Various techniques ensure that all infections are completely removed without false positives. Click here for more details on the removal process.
