I gather it is similar to Rkill and directed at rootkits?

Just for laughs, I ran both Hitman and Rkill in the last day or two. They both complete very quickly--maybe 20 seconds. Neither found anything, but I didn't think I had issues. I think Rkill finds rootkits, but you have to use something like Malwarebytes to remove them. Not sure about Hitman.

Another one I am hearing about is Combofix or something like that?

I had an issue on a friends computer that had Rootkit maleware/virus and this was the only thingthat was able to remove it without reformatting.

Hitman Pro isn't AV alternative but just On-demand scanner.

So you can keep it like MBAM with your AV.

Purpose

Hitman Pro 3 does not leave a program running in the background that continuously checks incoming e-mail and downloaded files for malware. Therefore you need to scan your PC regularly to ensure your PC is not infected.
Hitman Pro 3 can be used in combination with any other security suite. Scanning your PC for malware with Hitman Pro 3 will always be free so if you already have a security suite on your PC, it is an ideal program to make sure your security suite has not missed anything.

I gather it is similar to Rkill and directed at rootkits?

Just for laughs, I ran both Hitman and Rkill in the last day or two. They both complete very quickly--maybe 20 seconds. Neither found anything, but I didn't think I had issues. I think Rkill finds rootkits, but you have to use something like Malwarebytes to remove them. Not sure about Hitman.

It's not like Rkill.
Rkill's purpose is to find and shut down rootkits.
But Hitman Pro works more like Malwarebytes Anti Malware, but with cloud scanning.

Hitman Pro uses multi-Vendor cloud scanning, If it finds suspicious file, it will compress it and send to the cloud, where it will be scabbed with:
GData
A-Squared
AntiVir
PrevX
NOD 32

Also it has Early warning scan, which will warn you about suspicious files even though cloud scan haven't detected it as malaware.

We have just released the 32-bit version of Hitman Pro 3.5 (build 85).
Hitman Pro is now the first and only antivirus program in the world capable of finding and removing the TDL3+ rootkit

but why would you buy other stuff if you have you AV? does that mean you don't trust your av that much? you don't feel safe?

ESET+Firewall+UAC+Router = non bloated atleast almost perfect protection :O

"im not talking to anyone" just asking question to all.

but I guess it will be usefull to a already infected pcs. if its really effective that is?. but then again. why not just install an AV to an already infected pc? XD I just dont get these kind of softwares.

correct me if I'm wrong but these mbam,hitmanpro and ect doesnt repair the infected files right? they just detect and remove it? which doesnt make any difference from scanning with you're AV. but if they do. they might be usefull then

 

[jav]

Mercurial, Actually you don't need to buy it.
As it is free to scan and detect.

You have to use paid version only to remove infection.
But first time it detects something you are given chance to activate trial version and remove infection (not sure how long it is, As I only activated it once while cleaning friend's PC, on me it didn't detected anything, so I am still on free version)

It's just for backup, on-demand scanner.

 

[Dinesh]

What I like about Hitman Pro is that its fastest cloud scanning technology.
It consists virus definitions of 5 major antivirus (in the cloud) which never lets it fail to remove malwares.

Because single AV's miss things. Not every AV can get every piece of malware, 100% of the time. Doesn't matter what program it is. A layered approach is the best approach IMO. Running something like Hitman Pro on demand, as it is meant to be used, it is not realtime protection, allows you to scan your system and see if something got by your AV, you can then use something else to remove it or pay for Hitman Pro to remove it.

I have also used Hitman Pro on heavily infected systems to actually resurrect them without having to reinstall the OS. It's a great product.

I use everything that you just mentioned. I love ESET. But, NO. That is not almost perfect protection.

Go browse Wilder's security forums sometime. You'll see plenty of people who got infected while using up-to-date ESET antivirus. NOD is great, but like most modern AV, it does a poor job of fighting off day0 rogues.

Add LUA and SRP to your mix above and you're a little closer to perfect, but not quite.

Hi All

A few points of clarification... not aimed at anyone:

RKill's purpose is not to find and shut down rootkits. It is tool designed to do a specific job that helps those who have been trained to use malware removal tools to run those tools. Until now, you would not 'see' anything after running RKill.

ComboFix should not be compared to a commercial product. ComboFix is a powerful tool that, if used without expert knowledge and training, will result in your computer becoming an expensive paperweight.

While Hitman Pro *may* remove rootkits such as TDL3, it cannot guarantee your system is clean. It can only guarantee that it has found everything it's designed to find. Think about it... a few weeks ago no-one was aware of TDL3 but it was out there. How do you know whether the TDL3 rootkit has been used to download a yet-unknown sister rootkit? The safest way forward after the discovery of a rootkit is to reformat and re-install.
