Hitman Pro Support and Discussion Thread

Hi Mick92z,

I'd like to clarify something here, ONLY the binary is uploaded to the scanner, so this cannot contain your private information, only the 'application' is scanned no data files are affected in this process.

And there is an option to set the upload to manual so you can evaluate every binary that is found to be eligible for scanning in the first place. (Settings -> automatically upload unknown suspicious files to the scan cloud).

 

Re: scan time fluctuation, did this happen around the time Windows updates landed on your machines?

 

Many thanks RonnyT

 

Is there any advantage of using Hitman Pro with Malwarebytes?

 

HitmanPro is a good "second-opinion" scanner that can be used as an on-demand scanner alongside Malwarebytes.

 

Hitman pro yes, HMPA not so much.

 

HitmanPro v3.8.22 build 316

Changelog

• Improved: Malware removal
• Changed: PUA Engine
• Fixed: Freezing during removal of complex PUA files

Applications are now SHA-2 signed only, this will cause Vista users to see a UAC prompt to allow HMP to run on interactive or context menu scan, scheduled scan's run without prompt anyway.

Got it. TY!

 

Kaspersky deletes the new version.

 

for reason? I'm assuming the behavior engine kicks in, VT results are fine on their engine

 

Blocked by SmartScreen and quarantined by Kaspersky Security Cloud Free.
I have submitted the file for analysis by Kaspersky.

They have responded:

 

Please see attached.

 

No problem with Norton on 2nd machine.

 

Got a SmartScreen alert too. No problems with Norton.

 

@RonnyT
Got a message:

The option "Resolve Now" does nothing.
I don't believe that it is a correct detection.
How to proceed?

 

If it makes any difference I open HMP and updated that way. I didn't download hmp_64.exe, which is probably why I didn't get alerted by Smart Screen.

 

I did download the new HMP-version: a SmartScreen-alert.

 

Submitted here:

Result:

 

Looks like the upgrade got corrupted, please download a fresh copy.

 

I updated thru UI so no complaints from anywhere.

Thanks for update.

 

Thanks A fresh copy solved that issue.

 

Same here. Kaspersky didn't block the update through UI, so no problems here.
Thanks for the update.

 

We're currently having Trojan.FakeAV remnant detections in combination with Bitdefender and/or Trend Micro setups.
We are working on solving these false detections, you can ignore them for now.

Code:

Malware remnants ____________________________________________________________

   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\about.exe\ (Trojan.FakeAV)
   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\bdfvcl.exe\ (Trojan.FakeAV)

   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\au.exe\ (Trojan.FakeAV) -> PendingDelete
   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\ntrtscan.exe\ (Trojan.FakeAV) -> PendingDelete
