Unlimited free scanning and free 30-day version to remove detected malware.
Second Opinion Malware Scanner
If your child is not feeling well and you suspect he or she has a
virus infection you're going to visit your doctor. But what do you do
when the doctor tells you that he cannot find anything but your child
still does not feel very well? Of course, you go to visit another doctor
for a second opinion.
This is the same what Hitman Pro does for your computer. Hitman Pro
is a second opinion scanner, designed to rescue your computer from
malware (viruses, trojans, rootkits, etc.) that have infected your
computer despite all the security measures you have taken (such as anti
virus software, firewalls, etc.).
Why A Second Opinion?
Research shows that computers are still run a chance of getting
infected because the existing anti virus program is not giving you a
100% protection. "32% of computers infected, despite presence of anti
virus program."
Just relying on a single vendor is not sufficient to completely
protect you. You do need a second source to make sure you are secure.
But in most cases, installing a second anti virus program is not a
viable solution. Two programs are effecting the performance of the
computer dramatically, and sometimes even conflict causing the computer
to crash.
Hitman Pro is designed to work alongside existing security programs
without any conflicts. It scans the computer quickly (less than 5
minutes) and does not slow down the computer (except for the few minutes
it is scanning). Hitman Pro does not need to be installed. It can be
run straight from a USB flash drive, a CD/DVD, local or network attached
hard drive.
Hitman Pro offers you a Free Scan for a second opinion. It is
designed to check if your security measures work. If nothing is found
(and we sincerely hope so), then you will never need a license. When a
virus is found, then you will receive a free 30-day license to remove
the threat.
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:
When the file is unknown, the Hitman Pro client uploads the file to
the Scan Cloud where the file is scanned using the anti virus programs
of 5 different vendors. Each of these anti virus programs analyzes the
file and responds with "safe" or "malicious". Click here for more
details about the Scan Cloud.
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.
Who Should Use Hitman Pro?
Computer users can use the Free Scan of Hitman Pro as a quick check
(less than 5 minutes) to ensure that the existing anti virus program has

Pro as a quick check for viruses and other malware. It can be run from
USB or CD/DVD. No installation is required.
