help HitmanPro FAQ

Is HitmanPro a full antivirus replacement for Windows?

HitmanPro is primarily an on-demand, second-opinion malware scanner for Windows PCs rather than a complete operating-system security suite. It is useful for checking a suspicious Windows 10 or Windows 11 machine alongside an existing security product.

Can HitmanPro remove rootkits and other persistent threats?

Yes, HitmanPro is designed to detect and remove threats such as rootkits, spyware, adware, and trojans. Its scanning can examine boot records and other areas that persistent malware may use before Windows starts normally.

What makes HitmanPro different from a signature-only malware scanner?

HitmanPro uses behavioral analysis as well as malware databases, so it can flag suspicious activity even when a traditional signature is unavailable. Its current product information also references databases from four security labs, including SophosLabs.

How does HitmanPro compare with Malwarebytes?

Both tools can be used to investigate malware on Windows, but HitmanPro is especially positioned as a fast second-opinion scanner. Malwarebytes offers a broader consumer security product line, while HitmanPro focuses heavily on deep detection and cleanup.
