    Oh I see. In that case, detection overrides would be helpful. Maybe in a future build. Thank you. I appreciate your software.

    Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

    hi, i just got a reply to my question to them.

    so their beta has been curing it for sometime, i always trust their cureit tool when i need strong removal, its proved the best.

    however, im now a valid H.P user for 3 years, but doubt i would need it as Prevx has been protecting me for years without hiccup, always nice to have that second opinion though. :)

    they also added a further comment Mark:

    Hi Mark and Erik :)

    Maybe a little bit off topic, but I am curious : What is your relation with SpicyLemon and their Cloud Scanner :

    Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

    SpicyLemon used to be "NOD32 Nederland". Because if ESET would get in financial trouble, NOD32 Nederland would be out of a business they changed their name and portfolio to prevent that. A couple of years ago they renamed to SpicyLemon, and now they are reselling several security products, including NOD32, Caretaker, Comodo, and Hitman Pro

    You can read something about that here (19-10-2007).

    Their laboratory has the subscript "Powered by ESET NOD32 en Hitman Pro".

    They still are the official Dutch Reseller, so they manage that website (under the name of NOD32 Nederland).

    Funny... Malwarebytes revealed a new logo today: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=36765

    It could be me but it looks like the Hitman Pro logo that we have since April 2009. Our logo is also based on a pac man. It symbolizes the statistical Behavioral Scan in Hitman Pro, and of course the ‘eating’ of malware. The pie symbolizes wide ‘scanning’. The surrounding colored elements – like the corner stone – symbolizes our multiple renowned security partners that assist Hitman Pro with virus recognition in our Scan Cloud. And the different colors resemble the colors used in the Microsoft Windows logo, the operating system Hitman Pro was designed for.

    Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

    What exactly are you trying to say here, Mark? I doubt they used the HMP logo when they started designing the Malwarebytes' one ;).

    Not sure what it's supposed to look like, to be honest :D.

    Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

    Very interesting and informative read. Thanks

    I'm aware of the Hitman Pro issues with Eaz-Fix and Rollback but do the same issues apply with Comodo Time Machine?

    As far as I know Comodo Time Machine is a Rollback clone so I expect the same issues :doubt:

    Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

    Regarding the logo comparisons, few things to point out:

    # Similar san serif font, I'd say both are using something specific like Helvetica (light). Take a look at the 'a' and 'r' for example.

    # The Windows blue, used by Hitman Pro, quite similar to the malwarebytes colour used. Malwarebytes has used a different shade/tint.

    #The pacman/pie, Hitman Pro's red 'bite' facing almost down, malwarebytes' white 'bite' facing upright. However, malwarebytes has a few 'bites', so if you take a look at the outer blue pacman/pie, it's similar to Hitman Pro's red bite angle.

    So font, colour and pacman/pie, 'bite' angle, are all very similar.

    That aside, Mark, what are the chances of you having malwarebytes part of your scan cloud? I think many users would want this as malwarebytes would complement the other scanners, especially with rogue software, problem installations and registry entries. Basically it'd make Hitman pro an even better program and would give better exposure to both.

    Both are effective at removing stubborn malware, both smaller companies with products undergoing change, both have developers who listen to their customers. Like emsisoft and tall emu, you two (hitman pro/malwarebytes) could make a great pair when producing security products.

    Just a thought.

    Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

    I think it is you... LOL

    Also do not forget that the name "Malwarebytes" itself from the very start has referred to the "eating of malware", as you put it

    suspicious file

    Early warning scoring found a suspicious file in %win_dir%\system32\drivers\, googled its md5 checksum and it appeared in different names.

    File Size: 54016 bytes
    MD5 : e6d35f3aa51a65eb35c1f2340154a25e
    SHA1 : aabbd57e20d2e7041f9e7abce6cfd8a53c366537

    Could this be a malware?

    Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

    Sadeghi85 =

    ThreatExpert gives it the all clear. Virus Total, out of all the scanners, has only esafe saying it's a trojan. VirScan has everything giving it the all clear.

    I personally, wouldn't worry. Early Warning Scores is switched off by default for this reason. I'd use early warning scoring if I had system problems, and was trying to find the problem file. You most likely, have had no problems on your system - so no reason to switch early warning scoring on.
