Hitman Pro 3.5 | Build 85 Released !

I tested it for 'My Security Engine' and found nothing, not a sausage. It scanned MSb6d6.exe but didn't detect it as malicious. What are the two rogues that it found and removed? I would still recommend Malwarebytes as the tool to remove rogues. Right now, I'm not convinced Hitman Pro would do the job as well as Malwarebytes, or in my testing that I did; it didn't do any job at all.

That is interesting when you said Avast didn't prevent it. ESS4 detected and blocked 'My Security Engine' from installing that I found. Whether it will do well for other rogues, reamains to be seen but it passed that test well.

Tested again with Hitman Pro and this time with Antispyware Soft. Still nada. This is the XML logfile from Hitman Pro after the scanning. Yet again, I removed it with Malwarebytes.

<Log computer="xxxx-PC" scan="Normal" version="3.5.5.98" date="2010-05-05T00:38:15" timeSpentInSecs="85" filesProcessed="12834" />

No anti-virus is good against rogues. They will all block different ones but will let others in.

I only tried MBAM against the one Avast! let in. MBAM wouldn't run.

I agree that antiviruses have problems blocking rogues and I have MBAM Pro to do that. Perhaps Hitman Pro don't have the definitions yet against these relatively new rogues.

Hello all,

Hitman Pro 3.5.6 build 100 BETA can now be downloaded from:
http://files.surfright.nl/HitmanPro35beta.exe

Release notes:

• Added detection and removal of the latest TDL3 rootkit
• Added removal of Tracking Cookies in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. You can disabled this feature under Settings. Removal of Tracking Cookies is of course Free. Note: This feature ONLY removes cookies related to Advertising.
• Added AV Ballot Screen that appears when the computer is running without real-time AV protection.
• Return of the vendor icons on the welcome page.
• Authenticode certificates are handled on a separate thread.
• Added automatic ordering of the scan results.
  Activity is placed at the top, then Malware, Suspicious, EWS and then Tracking Cookies at the bottom.
• Updated graphics
• Updated internal whitelists

• Added Hindi language (thanks Avinash)

The AV Ballot Screen is added for users running without real-time AV protection. The screen allows users to choose an AV product from one of our partners and getting a Hitman Pro license for free (bundle). Also, we have changed the pricing of the bundles and more bundles will be added before the final release of Hitman Pro 3.5.6. The AV Ballot Screen is NOT displayed if you have either real-time AV protection, or when you have purchased a Hitman Pro license.

Per request, we have added the Ikarus vendor icon to the application. This icon is now displayed when Emsisoft Anti-Malware recognizes malware with the Ikarus engine.

Also, some of you have noticed that the Hitman Pro icon is showing up in the scan results. For quite a while we have been running an additional scanner in the cloud to see how it is functioning in the cloud environment. While still unannounced, the latest build now shows the icon of Dr.Web.
Note though that the Hitman Pro icon can still show up, this is usually Hitman Pro's detection for specific malware.

Please let me know if you find any issues or have any questions. Thank you for testing

Erik

Anyone tried out Hitman Pro? - Page 60 - Wilders Security Forums

How long should it take for Hitman to clean up after the detection stage? It's been running now for over an hour and I'll have to turn off my computer with the off button because nothing else shows on the screen.
