Developer’s Description

Eliminates malware, program exploits, and ransomware with deep scan and advanced behavior analysis.

HitmanPro.Alert can run alongside your current antivirus or by itself. It quickly removes malware and malicious programs that regular antivirus solutions miss, with advanced fast scans, cleaning up any Windows PC. It analyses behavior and can stop attacks without requiring prior knowledge of the attack. HitmanPro.Alert has unmatched anti-ransomware capabilities to keep your files safe. Unlike other ransomware prevention programs, HitmanPro.Alert not only stops ransomware as it activates, but rolls back any encryption that the ransomware implemented before being stopped.

HitmanPro.Alert is built to not only take on wide spread threats, but direct hacking, by preventing programs and hardware from being taken over. HitmanPro.Alert also stops hackers or foreign governments from accessing your webcam and spying on you. It stops malware that affects web browsers and encrypts your keystrokes to prevent attackers from stealing your credentials. HitmanPro.Alert prevents vulnerable programs from being hijacked and used to gain access to your computer. It's so good at this, it received the MRG Effitas Online Banking Certification Q3 2016.

Many versions of malware self-destruct when run on malware testers' computers, to prevent itself from being studied. HitmanPro.Alert disguises the computer as a malware tester, so all these versions of malware self-destruct before causing any damage. HitmanPro.Alert is a lightweight product that delivers a heavyweight punch.

Interferes with Sandbox Program
harri_03December 31, 2017
Pros
None as of version 3.7.1.723
Cons
Abysmal customer service. Will not allow sandboxed browsers to run under Sandboxie. Update is automatic with no opportunity to revert to previous version. No opportunity to compare checksum of update. Checksum not published.
Summary
Support takes days to respond. Then blames Sanboxie. It co-existed with Sanboxie for about 3 years now treats Sanboxie as a threat. Eventually dismissive response that programmers will look into it. Five weeks later still no fix or follow up reply.
Outstanding layers of protection
Cavehomme2August 20, 2016
Pros
This bit of software is an excellent and highly effective addition to your armoury against the vast range of malware out there. I've probably tried most software out there but this one is staying on my PC together with Windows Defender, don't need anything more. Just read the features on their website as to what it can actually do and you'll understand what I mean.
Cons
Can conflict with other security software, especially concerning browser protection, but that's because there may be overlap. My recommended strategy is to simply use a basic but good AV, even Windows Defender, plus Hitmanpro.alert. It's not free but worth every penny as far as I am concerned and they sometimes have great deals.
Summary
So far, the best addition to an AV that I have found.

Pros
Multiple security features, sub tools, safe browsing, exploit mitigation, easy metro GUI and much more feautures make it amazing easy to work fast and feeling safe.
Cons
Some false positives on unknown programs.
Summary
Best value with a high security grade
Incredibly powerful security software
John87657July 11, 2015
Pros
Multiple security features, safe browsing, exploit mitigation. Works in conjunction with hitmanPro and works seamlessly with other antivirus and malware programs. so many advanced features. Look at their website to see all the features but even then you will find all available features are understated. You need to use the software to see its true potential.
Cons
Possibly some false positives on Browser attack but not too inconvenient.
Summary
Best value security program to compliment main antivirus solution
