Hitman Pro 3.5.5 Public Beta

SurfRight released the Public Beta of Hitman Pro 3.5.5.

Here are the release notes:

• Added Quick scan which only scans loading point locations and in memory objects.
  You can choose Quick scan from the split button on the welcome dialog or specify /quick command line switch.
• Improved the overall scan performance on systems that have an active on-access scanner.
• Fixed a memory leak reducing memory consumption by 20-40MB compared to previous versions.
• Replaced WinInet by WinHTTP network stack for internet communication. This allows more proxy options and also allows Hitman Pro to run under different accounts like SYSTEM. This is particularly useful in corporate situations.
• Added Advanced tab under Settings allowing proxy configurations:
  - Use Internet Explorer settings (default)
  - Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD)
  - Proxy Automatic Configuration URL (PAC)
  - Manual proxy configuration
  - Proxy authentication
• Added License tab under Settings.
• Added Apply to all to the drop down menu of a detected item.
• Added hyperlink to the finish page allowing the scan log to be exported as XML.
• Added /ews command line switch.
• Added /noupload command line switch.
• Added /quick command line switch.
• Added /debug command line switch. Use this switch to generate a mini dump if the program crashes.
• Updated internal white lists.
• Lots of minor internal changes.

The beta does not install itself so you can run it along side previous builds. Also the beta updates automatically to the non-beta version after 14 days.

The bits can be downloaded from here:

Beta works flawlessly on my test machines; love the quick scan feature and proxy tab. Good job!

 

Just ran the latest, i.e 3.5.5 build 94, on XP Pro SP2.

A-OK!
