Mark Loman updated Hitman Pro to version 2.5.1.0 a few days ago. This all-in-one solution against spyware is intended for the less experienced user. It automatically downloads and runs as many as twelve different anti-spyware and antivirus programs, including Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster, CWShredder, and NOD32, and runs them on its own. By using these in succession, the computer is thoroughly cleaned of unwanted software. After inspection, a report clearly states which hazards were found and which of the programs used found them. Among other things, this new version adds support for version 5 of Spy Sweeper, recognizes more registry keys in expert mode, and fixes several minor issues. The full changelog for this release is as follows:
Changes in Hitman Pro 2.5.1.0
- Added Spy Sweeper 5 support. Hitman will now, when installed by user, operate Spy Sweeper 5.
- Added “Don’t ask again” checkbox when removing Quarantine archives.
- Added extra report information concerning Spyware Doctor.
- Added more recognition of registry defaults to Expert (keys that should be repaired instead of removed).
- Fixed NOD32 report (was broken in Hitman Pro 2.5).
- Fixed problem restarting Spy Sweeper UI (shields) when Hitman finished scanning.
- Fixed Disk Cleanup. In Hitman Pro 2.5.0 it was cripled (it never cleaned the browser cache).
- Fixed error during Uninstall of Hitman Pro 2.5.0
- Improved exiting Spyware Doctor 4.0.
- Improved handling of registry entries in Expert.
- Updated some language strings; users, thank you for reporting them.
- Changed Cookies under Threats (in Expert). Moved them from Threats to their own category (since Cookies don’t deserve to be called a threat).
Note: Next version of Hitman Pro is 2.5.2.0. It will support Sophos Anti-Rootkit. Version 2.5.2.0 is scheduled for release in week 35.[break]
