What it does
HitmanPro is a malware scanning and removal tool, with the related Alert offering adding ongoing exploit and attack protection.
HitmanPro is presented as a download-and-run scanner for an existing computer. The official page says other security software need not be uninstalled, making it relevant to a deliberate additional malware check. Keep the base scanner and HitmanPro.Alert roles clear. Alert adds continuing attack and exploit controls, while the original product emphasizes cleanup. Review the scan report and removal decisions rather than treating a scan as a guarantee about the computer's future state.
