Improved the Scan-at-startup by postponing the scan until the computer has started up (hard disk activity is near idle).
Postponing the startup scan improves the overall computer startup speed. Hitman Pro monitors the "Avg. Disks Queue Length" Performance Counter to determine whether the computer finished starting applications. Hitman Pro postpones the startup scan up to a maximum of 5 minutes. After that, the scan is started, despite hard disk activity.
Changed the Scan-at-startup from default normal scan to Quick Scan.
Fixed a problem with the Winsock repair functionality on 64-bit platforms. Thanks Rein.
Added Advanced tab under Settings allowing proxy configurations:
Use Internet Explorer settings (default)
Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD)
Proxy Automatic Configuration URL (PAC)
Manual proxy configuration
Proxy authentication
Added Compatible Disk Access mode.
This mode uses the Windows API for accessing the disk. This makes Hitman Pro compatible with hard disk snapshoting tools like Rollback RX and AyRecovery. Note that this mode reduces the chance of finding complex rootkits. You can change the Disk Access mode on the Advanced tab under Settings.
Added License tab under Settings.
Added Apply to all to the drop down action menu of a detected item.
Added hyperlink to the finish page allowing the scan log to be exported as XML.
Added /ews command line switch.
Added /noupload command line switch.
Added /quick command line switch.

Added Polish language
Built using Visual Studio 2010.

Endringer for v3.5 build 89 - v3.5 build 92

Fixed removal of malware related jobs configured in the Windows Task Scheduler.
Updated Italian, French and Portuguese-Brazilian language strings.
Detects and removes TDL3 rootkit version 3.27 (actively spreading since Feb. 23).
TDL3.27 rootkit authors solved a bug that allowed disk access through SPTI. TDL3.27 (or newer) now monitors SPTI and serves the uninfected bytes when trying to read the hard disk driver from disk. Hitman Pro now uses different methods to detect this highly advanced rootkit.
The rootkit's authors are actively watching the security industry, monitoring which tools can detect and remove their creation. Each update shakes off a few tools making this rootkit one of the most resilient malware to date.
Improved removal on files with specific permissions.
Added XML logging.
Watch our Blog as a post on Logging will appear shortly.
Added command line switches:
/log=C:\Folder\ (make sure the path ends with a backslash)
/log=C:\File.xml
/noinstall
Added registry value LogPath which behaves the same as the /log= command line switch.
Added Hungarian strings.
Updated Russian, Estonian, and Greek strings.
Detects and removes TDL3 rootkit version 3.273
Added detection and repair for rogues changing .exe file assignment

Endringer for v3.5 build 87 - v3.5 build 88

Added Force Breach. When holding the left Ctrl-key while starting Hitman Pro (hold until its window appears) will terminate all non-essential processes that run in the user's context. This is particularly useful when a fake/rogue anti-malware application is killing every process you want to start. See movie.
Added resolution changer. In Safe Mode scenario's where the computer boots in 640x480 the resolution is automatically increased by Hitman Pro to 800x600.

Fixed a problem reading data from encrypted hard drives.
Early Warning Scoring (EWS) is no longer on the Settings screen. Also, it is no longer remembered as a default scan. It now needs to be selected manually from the new split button "Next" on the Welcome screen. Note that EWS is not meant to run on a daily basis. It is intended for experts only as it potentially lists non-malware files. EWS can also be used when the Internet connection is disabled or unavailable.

Endringer for v3.5 build 80 - v3.5 build 81

Added Quarantine and History functionality under Settings.
Changed the default action to Quarantine on malware items that are recognized by just one AV partner.
Malware items are excluded from the scan result list when the item was reported by the user as safe and the item was recognized as malware by just one AV partner. The reported as safe item will reappear when the item is classified as malware by two or more AV partners.
Fixed a problem handling ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad items.
Vista laptop computers running Intel(R) Turbo Memory Driver iaNvStor.sys cannot use the new disk access mode to detect and remove TDL3 rootkit. This is due to iaNvStor.sys incorrect implementation of specific I/O control codes. Users who suspect a TDL3 infection should disable this specific Intel driver (the iaNvStor.sys is non-essential) and run Hitman Pro again.
Hitman Pro build 79 and 80 stopped working when this driver was present.
Removed the Windows 7 Task Bar integration as it causes random program stops. The issue is still under investigation.
Updated internal whitelists.
