What is your security setup these days?

As for now it is scanning the system, and the funny part is that it has detected some of my own programs written in vb.net as a Trojan ! these programs are just some database management system. The rest result seems to be some false positive...

Honestly I think it's a little disappointing...

Trust me my friend it's very much worth it. Just look around. And you will see lot's of members here are using HitmanPro free or paid version. And it may catch a program initially as it scans with the behavioral analysis thing. Then if found something suspicious it will upload to the cloud where the file gets scanned with multi reputed AV engine databases. The malware removal of HitmanPro is one of the best.

Did full scan on both my pc and laptop. In my PC there was 8 false positive and about 50 false positive in my laptop. And HitmanPro marked all of them as serious threats. Actually they were mostly innocent files. It even marked a mp3 player software I wrote in VB.NET

I knew my system were not infected, but just wanted to make sure with HitmanPro. Some of you guys might not like this, But I think HitmanPro is just making up some false positive to make people believe they are infected.
I will give you an example. I have a vga custom driver tool which is called PowerStrip. HitmanPro marked it as a Virus because the file name is "PStrip.exe". The reason is obviously the word "Strip" and I think this is the worst algorithm for a scanner to judge a file.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Do you run rollback software (timemachine)? This software is currently incompatible with HitmanPro.
Were the items listed as Suspicious (yellow shield)? If you see a red shield you can expand the row to see which scanner flagged the file.

I assure you, this is not how HitmanPro works. Can you post a log or screenshot?

[Boost]

I used to depend on HitmanPro,not anymore. It's detecting alot of safe software such as Magicjack phone service as malware,no thanks. I got rid of antivirus software years ago,because it couldnt be relied upon,and this is becoming the case for HitmanPro as well.

Uninstalled

Wow thats Insane.

i never had any problems with hitmanpro at the contrary is doing very good at removing malware and i clean some computers with heavy infections without any false positive

[justenough]

As usual my daily Hitman Pro scans are coming back clean. Infrequently there can be an alert for some obscure program I've loaded, but that's a one-click fix in HMP.

Same here. HitmanPro is top-class

MBAM Pro is set to update and then scan once a day. Hitman Pro scans on boot. I use the a2emergencykit scanner in Emsisoft Emergency Kit every week or so. The Download folder is sandboxed where new files are unpacked and get a MBAM right-click scan before being moved out of the sandbox.

Keriver 1-Click is the free version. I also have a Macrium Reflect system image stored on a separate drive.

They were all red, and mostly the scanner which flagged files was dr.web.
And I don't have a timemachine or anything like that.

I wish I captured the screen. Let me see if I can find the log.

I do a default scan every morning with HMP. I don't have the paid version but I really don't need it. If I get infected I have a ton of things to delete/block it.

Actually I don't need it either, I just want to make extra attention to security this year because I am managing a few servers remotely and can't risk to lose data or passwords...

[Dark Shadow]

I use Hitman pro for OD scans no license. I had Faronics AE scanned as suspicious but Erik clearly explained why it was back in another thread, but other then that no false positives.

[jmonge]

just running MBam Pro and hitmanpro with comon sense and open eyes with some nice dark coffee

[Ibrad]

Thinking of pulling out my old testing desktop (that I have not booted in a year) and giving Rising PC Doctor v7 a spin. I always kinda lived v6 for giving a general overview of my system and this may be what I need to pair with Panda Cloud.

New setup in sig

Simple, Light and Secure

Quite happy with this one

Although CIS Premium was performing well, it was ridiculous on how much disk I/O it had. Avast seems to manage disk I/O better.

I am pretty sure it's just because of Comodo AV

I agree I would have just disabled Comodo AV. Oh well your decision...

I might just add the firewall component of Comodo, along side Avast.

Then you would have a pretty mighty setup

That's the way to go my friend.

Where did your cobian backup go? Not using anymore?

I agree with adult and kelvin. Avast with Comodo FW is one of my favorite setups. This is very solid.

[KelvinW4]

Added Comodo Firewall
