Hitman Pro Support and Discussion Thread

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Hitman Pro also has a Winsock Repair. If you run Hitman Pro then Hitman will offer to repair the Winsock LSP chain just like winsock fix does.
Hitman Pro can be used without internet connection if you check EWS.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

I really think that hitman can't detect much of anything other than false positives:

Hitman was the only thing that I have ran on the pc other than running a winsock repair. No clean up utilities like crap cleaner, I have not manually gone through and deleted files in the temp folders, I have not performed any type of vacuum cleaning.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Hitman Pro found it suspicious enough to submit it to the scan cloud.
Please expand the node so we can see which vendor marked this file as malware.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Well i have found it to detect a lot of stuff other products do not. i use this on a daily basis along with other tools cleaning out clients machines I have found very little inclination of Hitman Pro being prone to false positives. Keep up the superb work erikloman

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

here you go

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

That is good, I used to do this on a daily basis (actually 3-5 pc's a day for a year and a half) and became too monotonous for me to keep my sane. Much rather build networks and support corporate users than deal with this crap on a daily basis. I can usually get a pc 100% clean within a 3 hr window.

Trying this utility because it was recommended, posting here because the programmers frequent here. Otherwise this utility would have been tossed in the trash bin a week ago after I tried it the first time and saw the false positive results with no legit malware. I am not really trying to discredit this utility, I want to help make it better.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

So 2 of our partners marked this file malicious.

I just checked on VirusTotal and this file is marked by 24 (out of 40 = 58%) vendors as malware.

If you search for DIGstream on the internet, most of the things you'll find is about how to remove it.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

That's good . ESPN is dishing out malware. Do you want to tell them or should I?

Let me ask this, being that it is considered malware, why is it considered malware? Is it because it takes up system resources or is it because it communicates to the ESPN network? I am confused, please unconfuse me.

It is part of ESPN Motion which is ESPN's video player, if you wanted to know what it was.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

I think it is possibly a PUA (potentially unwanted application).

See also ~ Snipped VirusTotal Link per Policy ~.

I will further look into this file tomorrow morning.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

greetings sc302, well all your info i'm sure will tighten up and make Hitman Pro better, and the funny thing i went back to doing disinfection I switched from doing networks, could not stand those pompus corporate types. Let me correct that a tad, some were pompus. I'd rather have a personal computer user think I am the best thing since sliced bread once their pc is clean and working. But your right it all gets a little old and boring.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

woo hoo, comres.dll is infected. great.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

I need a bit more info than this as we have 200 different comres.dll files in our scan cloud. Which vendors classified it as malicious?

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

don't worry about it, combofix deemed it as infected and removed the infection. Didn't say what it was infected with, just removed the file. I will attach a full combofix log if you wish. or if you want I can zip up the quarantine and log and mail it to you. whatever you need or prefer.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Heh, I agree wholeheartedly. I really enjoy the smile on the customers' face & payment for services rendered. Not to mention all of the referrals that go along with it. This has been my best year ever.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Just for clarification, HJT and Combofix aren't even close to one in the same. sc302 is posting it to benefit erikoman and the HMP team. If that is also against forum rules so be it.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Duly noted. I completely skipped the small print disclaimer.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

not exactly asking for help with it, nor for it to be analyize for my benefit. I do not need help with it, nor am I asking for help with it. If you feel that you need to delete it because that I am asking for help with it that is fine, but I am not nor will I ever be asking for help with a combofix or hijackthis log here (I have never asked for help before to analyize one, I don't think I am going to start now) and I have not asked anyone here to analyize it for anything wilderssecurity related. But I thank you for the warning.

To make it perfectly clear of what I am asking, I am trying to get a piece of software to function in a fashion that is usable and does not produce unwarranted or undesired results.

To Erik:
Again the option still stands if you want me to zip it and email it, I can (unless this is breaking some sort of other rule).

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

is ther an updated ETA for Build 79 and Build 80?

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Yes I can't wait for the new features Quarantine is a must keep up the good work SurfRight Team!

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

same

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

just scanned my work computer, and would you believe that it picked up combofix.exe as a spyware application, and part of symantec clean up (a clean up tool distributed by symantec to automatically remove symantec antivirus 10 without manually going through deleting registry keys and files) as malware.....screen shot available. At this point I have to lol, where ever you pull these software lists need to really be looked at for validity because some of this is really off the wall.

You guys can pm me if you want to work with me offline. I will allow you to use my services for free in order to help iron some of this stuff out.

I am glad that this product has worked great for others, however with the way most techs work (vacuum cleaning, running fast scanners followed by through long scanners (spybot and/or combofix would be considered light scanners, symantec antivirus and/or malwarebytes would be considers thorough scanners) this program isn't exactly feesable to use being that the files must remain resident for this software to get it all when the first step could get rid of enough of the infection to render hitman useless in complete cleansing of the system.....This product is lacking esp when you guys want to charge for use after 30 days.

 

Re: Anyone tried out Hitman Pro?

Agreed, i use multiple scanners MBAM, SAS, Hitman Pro, Avast, Norton and numerous online AV scanners and the others you mentioned, cannot rely on Hitman Pro saying its clean or infected need to rely on a thorough tool box. Hitman Pro is just part of the tool box. You made a great point if one thinks he's done cleaning out malware guess again start another scan.
