i had avira before i downloaded hitman pro and just use avira as a on demand scanner and disabled the real time stuff ever since i downloaded it. But since i got hitman pro now should i remove avira antivirus or no
If you read through the product pitch of Hitman Pro, your question will be answered automatically. Hitman Pro is a 'second opinion' scanner. It is not meant to replace your current antimalware.
Hitman is designed to work with most of the security applications same as prevX and other cloud based applications
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. None the less iii should re-enable the Antivir guard. Who Should Use Hitman Pro? * Computer users can use the Free Scan of Hitman Pro as a quick check (less than 5 minutes) to ensure that the existing anti virus program has not missed a threat.
no, i wasnt being sarcastic. the OP posted he uses antivir for on-demand only and if by having HMP, should be remove it. I simply answered his question.
Hitman Pro is an on-demand scanner. It should be used as such. HMP is not a real-time scanner. I'd advise the OP to re-enable his/her Avira Guard so he/she has real-time protection and then perform a scan just to be 100% nothing got through while it was disabled.
Please take note that iii stated he turned off the Avira guard after installing HMP. If he understood what HMP was about then obviously he would have refrained from doing so. In a nutshell your answer is of no help whatsoever.
no, he said he's disabled real-time ever since he downloaded Avira. and he wants to know if he needs Avira still as an on-demand, with HMP now on his machine. thats how i read his comments anyway, so in a nutshell - your answer is no help whatsoever!
LIFE IS NOW HERE?? LIFE IS NO WHERE?? misunderstandings He's using Avira as Ondemand Scanner already with No real time protection. He then downloaded Hitman pro .His question is whether to uninstall Avira or not bcoz Hitman pro includes Avira engine. My opinion is to enable Avira's Real time protection and use Hitman pro to scan regularly.
I guess Niakanth already said what i want to say...Its better you use Avira for Realtime and Hitman Pro for "On-Demand" purpose...
Hi, I've been testing Hitman Pro recently on a win XP VM and, after playing around with it a while I've come to the conclusion that HMP is comparable to let's say MBAM, SAS, PrevX or some sort of similar appication. Bottom line, HMP is meant to complement you AntiVirus solution not to replace it. Therefore, you should keep whatever AV you are using now and use HMP as an on-demand scanner for whatever your AV missed. Just my 2¢ Carlos
I'm a great fan of Sandboxie too, but I wouldn't recommend running it without some additional real-time protection. which Hitman Pro doesn't provide (although it's excellent for on-demand scans). However good your first line of security is, isn't it better to have more than one security layer to afford a degree of fail-safe protection? After all, you wouldn't want to drive a car with only one braking system.
I think with Hitman Pro you can scan just what's in memory. I believe this means if you do an on demand scan with Avira av (guard disabled) you can get a more comprehensive scan of your machine. So you may want to keep both. IIRC- I think HMP scans a limited number of extension types as well.
why? Dorment viruses dont mean anything, they cant do anything and are pointless. ie. a user could use Defensewall and have over 100 malware samples on their machine, but if they cant be executed - they dont mean anything, still equals to the same thing, a clean machine.
