Think you've got a virus? Get a second opinion
Hitman Pro is the ideal program to use when you suspect your computer has a virus, but your standard antivirus comes up with nothing.
Hitman Pro is quick and portable and, best of all, doesn't conflict with standard antivirus applications, so you can use it for a second opinion without things getting complicated. There are two scan modes - Quick and Default - and you can set Hitman Pro to scan on computer start-up.
The Hitman Pro interface is modern and attractive; the scans are quick and the results are easy to read. The program doesn't have a huge number of configuration options, but the ones that do feature are useful - for example, Hitman Pro integrates into Windows Explorer context menus, and it will also create an automatic restore point. Even so, we missed greater scheduling options.
Hitman Pro seems to be accurate. On our test system, it didn't find anything, but then again, we make a big effort to keep things clean. It did find the traces of tracking cookies that had already been removed, however, so the chances of it finding real infections are pretty good. Hitman Pro is no replacement for a general anti-virus, but if you are looking for a second opinion, it's a good bet.
Hitman Pro - a second opinion for your virus and tracking cookie queries.

Have Hitman as a virus checker ... it works.
This software works. My current anti virus software allowed in a Trojan Virus (the Anti Virus Secure Pro fraud product) and could not recognise it as malicious. Hitman software identified it, completely cleaned my computer finding and also removed another 2 nasties along the way.
Cons:
nothing to report yet More

Amazing.
Hitman Pro is amazing. I had a nasty virus on my computer, that 3 other anti-virus software could not detect, which was ridiculous. I was going to go into my computer manually to locate the file that I knew was corrupting my system, I read about it online with instructions of how to do it, but another review had said to download hitman pro, and IT WORKED. I don't understand why Norton antivirus is expensive and doesn't even work, when you can get hitman pro for like 20 bucks a year and it's amazing. I highly recommend it.
Pros:
Amazing
Cons:
None. More
