One of the advantages of Hitman Pro 64 is that it can work alongside existing scanners with no conflict. While it can be installed, it can also be run directly from an external flash drive.

For those who have been searching for an extra level of protection against modern malware threats, Hitman Pro 64 certainly delivers. While the more mainstream antivirus platforms provide a general firewall, emerging viruses may not always be detected. In this case, a second option is often the preferred choice. Hitman Pro 64 is able to thwart issues such as trojan viruses, spyware, malware and ransomware. However, it should be noted that the removal of any ransomware (if activated) will require a standalone package such as the Hitman Pro Kickstart variant.



Little Memory Usage

Another hallmark of the Hitman series is the fact that this software takes up very little memory. This is often not the case with larger antivirus packages. Thus, even hard drives with limited space will not be compromised. Hitman Pro 64 will complete an entire system scan within generally less than five minutes. Threats can thereafter be identified, isolated and expunged.

Modern Updates


A one-off purchase of antivirus software is likely to become outdated over time (exposing a system to newer threats which may have emerged in the interim). As Hitman Pro 64 is updated on a regular basis, this scenario is all but eliminated. For those who are searching for a second firewall intended to thwart a great many viruses, this software may be the ideal choice.
