Hitman Pro is a freely downloadable anti-spyware package that was developed by Mark Loman in the Netherlands. Hitman Pro automatically downloads, installs and runs third party anti-spyware and anti-adware programs that are freely available on the Internet:

Eset NOD32 antivirus system (trial, expires in 30 days)
Webroot Spy Sweeper (trial, expires in 7 days)
PC tools Spyware doctor (demo, will not clean anything)
Lavasoft AdAware SE (freeware)
Safer Networking Spybot - Search & Destroy (freeware)
TrendMicro CWShredder (freeware)
JavaCool Software SpywareBlaster (freeware)
McAfee VirusScan SuperDAT (virus signature definition updates, McAfee PrimeSupport license required for qualifying product)
Ewido Micro Scanner (freeware)

Nod32 has granted permission to use their software. Software producer Lavasoft is in discussion with Mr. Loman over changes to the program before granting any official permission to implement their software and McAfee says they did not grant permission and claim no knowledge at all of the program with no further comment. This is in apparent contrast to the previous statements of Mr. Loman who claimed he had the agreement of all companies.^[1]
