    does the x64 not get this feature?

    the x64 version is always behind, why cant they release builds simultaneously? :rolleyes:

    For those battling with rogues that don't allow you to open Removable Media or My Computer, try doing Start->Search for Files and Folders and launching Hitman that way. I prefer to right-click when holding Ctrl and select Open and launch Force Breach that way.
    Also, renaming Hitman.exe to svchost.exe worked few times before.

    That's a good tip.

    Right-click on hitman pro through windows explorer, and before you select open, hold control, then select open. Terminated 16 processes for me, although none were malicious, it did what it's supposed to do. :thumb:

    That “Force Breach” feature in Hitman Pro 3.5 is very effective. I tested it myself against some of those Fake AVs running on a Win XP VMWare Virual Machine and it really killed the processes in a heartbeat.


    It's better than the tool named Rkill.exe.
    I hope the malware writes don't circumvent this wonderful mechanism too soon.


    Regards,

    Before anyone else tries on a clean system, you'll have to reboot to start everything up again - ;) .

    But if my system were infected, this new feature would do the trick.

    Hitman Pro is becoming an essential and killer application.
    I have no idea how many times I've gone to people's houses and cleaned up malware that had been there for more than 5 years. Kudos to the developers of Hitman Pro, we need to do a media blitz for this app to get it on more people's PC(s).

    thats not what i said at all, where the hell did you get that from? o_O

    its lame that they are releasing new features in x86, along with bug fixes and the x64 version gets nothing.

    so, its lame that someone using it for free could make use of such new features, while i, a paying customer dont get these.

    Since the majority of our users have x86 we release new features first for x86. It takes additional time to test the x64 build.

    Also we are currently understaffed due to vacation of co-workers.

    Also the MS10-015 patch causing BSODs in TDL3 infected systems is taking some resources on our end. Hitman Pro is currently the only public AV that is able to detect AND remove TDL3. See this thread for more info.

    We're going to release x64 on this Monday or Tuesday.

    Agree, perhaps a good suggestion to Wilders Security Forums to give SurfRight their own forum here. It will look better, it will be better for all parties , SurfRight deserves it, and a thread like this is not very handy..

    Keep up to good work Mark,Erik and colleagues.

    Very good idea. Hitman Pro is the best money I've spent since buying Defensewall.

    I am using the HMP 3.5.4 build 90 (32-bit) on a laptop running Vista 32-bit that is infected with Security Tool. Holding the left control key and either double-clicking or right-click/open on the HMP executable brings up Vista's default UAC prompt. Once I click continue on the UAC prompt I still receive the notification from Security Tool that HitmanPro35.exe is infected or it does nothing at all. If I rename HitmanPro35.exe to svchost.exe I can open HMP but force breach is not initiated.

    EK, does it work if you navigate to program files, and hitman pro folder.

    Then right-click on hitman pro.exe, and before you select open, hold control, then select open?

    You might have already tried this, but just checking you you were clicking on say a desktop shortcut, instead of the executable.

    You must keep the LEFT-CTRL-key pressed until the Hitman Pro window appears. If you get an UAC prompt, keep CTRL pressed while you click Allow.
    Basically you keep the LEFT-CTRL-key pressed until you see the Hitman Pro window.

    It works, just hold Left Control key as you right-click on Hitman exe and select Open. Keep Left Control key pressed until Hitman GUI loads.
