HitmanPro I'm purchasing!

I have been in the computer support side of things for 30 years! Just retired form "Corporate America" back in January and as soon as we sell the house we ater hitting the road.

I have worked on many different Windows versions as well as may different workstations. My utility programs of choice where AVG AntiVirus and SuperAntiSpyware.

Recently my IBM laptop running Windows 7 started slowing down. I knew SOMETHING was not right. This AM after running BOTH full scans of SuperantiSpyware and AVG and rebooting the problem was still their!
In Task manager under processes I sort by CUP utilization. I see MSIEXE.EXE CMD.EXE and CONHOST.EXE popping in and out. This really worries me because it told me that "someting" was running in a command window.
After 2 more COMPLETE scans with AVG & SuperAntiSpyware I was about to give up before running across a program called Hitman Pro. I did the 30 day free trial and ran the program. It found some trojans & malware that the other programs did not find.

After a reboot all is back to normal!

I'm going to purchase the softwae for three PC's.

I suggest anybody tat runds Windows should give this program a try. Again, I have been in this Biz for 30 years & this is a hot little program.

Run it & post back your results. This might save you from upgrading to a newer PC because of performance issues!

I have been a Diesel D.I.Y. guy for 13 years and now I'm taking it on the road! Hope to see ya all! I think RV net is #1!!!
  • Yes, its in the wrong forum. But a warning about HitmanPro. DO NOT use this app unless you know what you are doing. Best to only do so with the assistance of a techie helping you with your particular issue - such as BleepingComputers.com. The reason being that it is an auto process, and can make permanent changes without your intervention, that can cause your system not to function.

    I know first hand as I used HitmanPro to remove difficult malware from a system, which would no longer boot after the process. Had to manually restore just the files causing the boot issue, without restoring the malware.

    If you are going to use the app, make a system restore point yourself at minimum. Don't rely on an app to do so for you. I would also make a system backup as a precaution.
