[jasonX]

We at Geeks For Your Information are very pleased to announce our 
HitmanPro.Alert Mother's Day 2025 Giveaway!

 

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

HitmanPro.Alert is an application 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. It is specifically built to add an extra layer of security/protection to your system by augmenting / complimenting your existing security application set-up. 

• 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 AND REMOVAL
  
  Ransomware is one of the biggest fears of anyone in IT. A form of malware, it encrypts files or locks down your device and holds it for ransom – and paying that ransom often isn’t enough to get your data back from the hackers who encrypted it. 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. 
  
  • HitmanPro.Alert Ransomware Remover
    
    Ransomware has become the fastest growing malware infections in the world and continues to make headlines through massive, worldwide outbreaks. It has become so lucrative, that business organizations have sprung up selling ransomware to newbie hackers as a product or service. Thus, a tool/application is important who will be constantly on the lookout, ready to back up your files and destroy incoming threats. HitmanPro.Alert’s ransomware protection is designed to do just that.
    
    HitmanPro.Alert includes "CryptoGuard" which analyzes all encryption behavior to spot signs of a ransomware attack. When it recognizes unauthorized encryption, HitmanPro.Alert creates backups of the files, then stops and removes the ransomware. Finally, it allows the files to be reverted back to their original state, making HitmanPro.Alert the ultimate ransomware remover.
    
    
    
    
    HitmanPro.Alert vs Ransomware
    
    
    
    
  • HitmanPro.Alert Ransomware Protection
    
    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
  
  Zero-day exploits attack yet-to-be-discovered vulnerabilities, so your antivirus tool needs to be on the lookout for all types of malware. Protecting against known threats just isn’t enough. Traditional antivirus tools know what to look for with existing threats, but often lack the capability to identify unheard of dangers.
  
  • Hacking and Zero Day Exploits
    
    Once a vulnerability is exposed, hackers are there ready to attack immediately and exploit such vulnerability. A “zero-day exploit” is an attack that occurs "before" a vulnerability is fixed. Zero-day vulnerabilities takes various forms, because they can manifest as any type of broader software vulnerability. 
    
    Zero-day exploits are a real concern for cybersecurity professionals, and they can also be concerning for casual internet users. Hackers know their way around standard applications (like Microsoft Word). If your built-in antivirus tool doesn’t catch a vulnerability, your device will be at risk. Malware continues to evolve to new and more dangerous formats.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  • Behavioral detection keeps you safe from never-before-seen threats
    
    HitmanPro.Alert blocks incoming adware using zero-day exploits, and it removes what’s already there to keep your devices clean. HitmanPro.Alert is designed to eradicate viruses, worms, keyloggers, rootkits, trackers, and spyware, all of which malicious adware can put your device at risk for, automatically with just one quick download. 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.

  HitmanPro.Alert vs a Keylogger
  
  
  
• PRIVACY PROTECTION
  
  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. 
  
  
  
• 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. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• HitmanPro.Alert's CRYPTOGUARD TECHNOLOGY
  
  The "Risk Reduction" feature of HitmanPro.Alert include behavior based protection against high-impact crypto-ransomware, a prolific threat that slips by web filters and antivirus defences 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.
