GFYI [Official] HitmanPro.Alert Christmas 2020 Giveaway

[jasonX]

 

 

We at Geeks For Your Information are very pleased to announce our 
Hitman.Pro.Alert Christmas 2020 Giveaway!

 

 

We would like to thank Mr. Mark Loman and Mr. Victor van Hillo for sponsoring us the giveaway prizes

 

HitmanPro.Alert is a solution that provides real-time protection for home and business PCs to guard against prevalent and zero-day software exploits, drive-by downloads, crypto-ransomware, online fraud, espionage and identity theft. It protects your computer systems even before new and undiscovered threats are formally addressed by security updates and antimalware solutions.
 

 

• HitmanPro's Advanced Malware Removal
  
  All the features found in HitmanPro are also included in HitmanPro.Alert, including a powerful, professional-grade virus cleaner. While most traditional virus cleaners simple remove offending malware files, our deep scan and clean goes the extra mile by eradicating all traces and remnants of the malware that previous security software may have left on your computer transforming your computer to a state where it was never infected. 
   
  
  
  
  
  
• Ransomware Protection
  
  Ransomware  encrypts your files, making them unusable until a ransom is paid to the hackers who spread it. And there is no guarantee that they will be decrypted once the ransom is paid. Ransomware is one of the fastest growing malware infections in the world and has been making headlines through massive, worldwide outbreaks. It has become so lucrative, that business organizations have sprung up in the criminal world selling ransomware as a product or service to newbie hackers. 
   
  
  HitManPro Alert vs Ransomware
  
  HitmanPro.Alert watches for ransomware-style behavior, not just know ransomware, allowing it to catch brand new variants that other security software cannot recognize. If a file gets encrypted, HitmanPro.Alert makes a backup file. If other files continue to be encrypted, HitmanPro.Alert recognizes this behavior as potential ransomware and stops the process. It then rolls back the encryption by replacing the encrypted files with the saved backups and then removes the ransomware itself.  HitmanPro.Alert also blocks unwanted encryption of the boot drive, another tactic used by hackers to get money. All this is done without any needed user interaction.

• Preventing Program Exploits
  
  HitmanPro.Alert adds an additional layer of security around vulnerable programs, watching behavior that is malicious in nature. Infections are found and promptly removed. HitmanPro.Alert then replaces the infected Windows resources with safe, original versions. This prevents these programs from being exploited and used against the user.

Keeping Your Privacy

Webcams, keyboards and web browsers are also susceptible to hacking. Simple infection techniques could give hackers access to the passwords and the credit card numbers you type, the web pages you visit, and anything that's happening in the front of your webcam. HitmanPro.Alert monitors unauthorized access to your webcam, keeping your private life "private". It beefs up browser security and warns you if the browser has been compromised in anyway. It also encrypts keystrokes, rendering the keyloggers useless and keeping what you type safe. These advanced privacy features led MRG Effitas to award HitmanPro.Alert their Secure Online Banking Certification. 

 

Disrupting the Cyber Kill Chain®

Alternative endpoint security solutions only focus on blocking malware delivery from web pages and email attachments, but HitmanPro.Alert also recognizes the capabilities of more devious attackers. HitmanPro.Alert is purpose-built to disrupt attacks in real-time across the entire threat life-cycle or Cyber Kill Chain®. HitmanPro.Alert not only offers exemplary exploit technique prevention and advanced malware remediation, its many "Risk Reduction" features also limit motivated and skilled attackers' abilities when they do succeed in compromising the endpoint.
 

CryptoGuard stops ransomware

The exclusive "Risk Reduction" features of HitmanPro.Alert include behavior based protection against high-impact crypto-ransomware, a prolific threats that slips by web filters and antivirus defenses every day. This type of infection --also generalized as "cryptolocker" --goes after images, documents, and other personal and critical data on local disks and networked drives. Cryptolocker malware encrypts the computer files of its victims and demands ransom money for the decryption key. The signature-less operation of HitmanPro.Alert's CryptoGuard technology universally prevents spontaneous encryption of data by cryptolockers. Even when trusted files or processes are hijacked for unsolicited encryption --as observed in cryptolockers "Vaultcrypt", "CryptoWall" and "CTB-Locker" --it is stopped and reverted by HitmanPro.Alert, without interaction from users or IT support personnel. 
 

 

Risk Reduction

Other Risk Reduction features focus e.g. on anti-espionage, such as kernel-based Keystroke Encryption, Webcam Notifier and BadUSB Protection. Moreover, Vaccination and Process Browsing and Application Lockdown reveal malware that hide inside or attempt to piggyback on trusted programs to gain persistence or hoist additional payloads.
