Hi
I did manually remove Hitman.
I used Agent Ransack to find all the files.
I uninstalled the files located in several different locations, Program Files (x86), Users Directory, etc.
Then I ran CCleaner and removed left over registry entries that it found.
It seems to be totally gone now, I removed SuperAntiSpyware as well.
I'm still running AVG and Malwarebytes, I'll leave it at that for now.
I also went through and removed about 10 other programs I never use, with Revo Uninstaller.
Defragmented, cleaned and running really good now.
I'll use it for a couple of days and then make a new Disk Image, I have 2, one made with EaseUS Todo, and one made with Paragon Backup and Recover, and I have a boot disk for both.
Today was the first time that I used Todo to do a recovery but it worked great and it's very easy to use, only a few choices and direct.
It booted and restored from the disk with only a few clicks.
As I said before I made sure that Driver Verify is not turned on.
I'm not sure but I believe that the Windows Update turned it on, and caused the problems.
