Essentially, Hitman Pro is a helper utility that runs up to eight different cleaning tools when you tell it to. Some are favorites we all know and love, like a href=”http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php”Ad-Aware/a and a href=”http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html”Spybot SD/a, while others are a bit more obscure. The idea behind Hitman Pro is that you’ve got a one-stop shop for killing off any malware that hits your systemmdash;regardless of whether it’s spyware, adware, or some nasty virus. As the MakeUseOf post points out, scanning your system with each app can be a time-consuming process, so it’s best to use when your computer is idle.
