HitmanPRO is a cloud scanner that scans every active file for malicious activity on your computer and sends it to the Sophos cloud for detection. In the Sophos cloud both Bitdefender antivirus and Kaspersky antivirus scan the file for malicious activities. Download HitmanPRO. Part of the Sophos family, Hitman Pro has been around for some time now. In this fully independent Hitman Pro review, I’ll be taking a look at how this popular antivirus software suite measures up by today’s standards.
Remove malware now
It completely eradicates all traces and remnants of the infection. With its advanced behavioral detection technologies, it’ll be as if your computer was never infected in the first place. Plus, HitmanPro can run alongside your current antivirus to catch anything that may have slipped through.

Get ready for a clean computer!
HitmanPro is the expert's choice for clearing a computer of malware, PUAs, and tracking codes.
HitmanPro digs deep to rid your computer of any lingering infections. Quick, specialized scanning, with easy removal, gets your computer back to a pre-infected state in no time. It can also run right alongside your current security software if you’re looking for another layer of security, or a second opinion on how that security is performing.
The “Antivirus Only” Problem
Software updates and antivirus programs use malware signatures to detect threats. Each time new malware is discovered that is not consistent with previously known threats, a new signature must be created. This can take security vendors hours, days, or weeks, leaving you vulnerable for a period of time.
HitmanPro uses behavior-based techniques, looking at programs and files that operate like malware despite their innocent appearance. This allows it to find and remove the new and developing “zero-day” malware for which antivirus software has no current detection signature.
Protection Before Booting Up
Rootkits embed themselves deep in the operating system to hide from antivirus software. These rootkits can infect the master boot record, allowing them to start before the Windows operating system boots up. This gives the rootkit an advantage over built-in security and traditional antivirus programs.
Our proprietary technology collects hard disk driver information from clean computers and stores a representation of this information in the cloud. When HitmanPro detects a hook on the hard disk driver, it consults the cloud on how to work around it.
This allows HitmanPro to bypass the rootkit in the boot record and examine the actual infected areas to begin cleanup and remediation efforts. All of this happens in the background, not requiring any additional user interaction, giving HitmanPro a distinct advantage over standard antivirus programs or a completely manual removal process.
Comprehensive Remediation
Today’s malware piggybacks on critical system files to manipulate the Windows operating system. HitmanPro removes these threats and replaces the infected Windows resources with safe, original versions. Re-infection attempts are blocked during remediation.
No Installation Needed
Because HitmanPro requires no installation and has a download size of only 12 MB, you can begin cleaning your computer immediately. It can start directly from a computer as well as a USB flash drive, CD/DVD, or a remote storage device. This is incredibly useful in infection situations where malware prevents the installation of security software. HitmanPro automatically updates so you always have the latest, up-to-date version.

How Does It Work?

Behavioral detections + collective intelligence
Instead of solely relying on product signatures to detect malware, HitmanPro investigates each file’s behavior to determine what acts malicious. This approach gives HitmanPro the ability to stop brand-new and complex malware and viruses before they’ve been identified. HitmanPro also accesses the Kaspersky Labs, Bitdefender and SophosLabs remote malware databases, allowing for immediate detection of even more forms of malware, while tracking the malware to its source.
No installation needed
HitmanPro is only 12 MB and requires no installation. It can start directly from a desktop, USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, or a remote storage device. Even if your antivirus is being manipulated by malware or ransomware is getting a hold of your files, HitmanPro functions normally, detecting and removing the threat.
Comprehensive remediation
HitmanPro has the ability to remove persistent threats from within your operating system and replaces infected Windows resources with safe, original versions, all while proactively blocking reinfection attempts.
