CNET’s review says it installs and uninstalls without issues.
See:

However, you have issues. I would call Hitman Pro’s support number if they have such a thing but since they are in the Netherlands cost and language might be an issue.
I would e-mail them at mailto:support@hitmanpro.com and see if they have handled this before.
Call Bill Gates.
Rebuild your boot configuration data.

That should do it.
You can also try a startup repair using your original disc.

10 responses so far and no one has told you its your fault for running windows and not Apple. No one has told you to run alt-control-delete *.* or format your disk.
Must be Friday.
If you cant get back to normal, then you will likely have to just re-install everything. If there is still stuff on your computer you need, I would recommend getting Hiren’s BootCD, which is a boot disc with all types of tools. The most important one is a mini version of XP that allows you to get at all of the files on your HD so you can copy them off.

Of course it will have to be downloaded and burned first. But it will become invaluable in the future.
Get on another box and google up "Windows Defender offline". Download and run it (on the box you downloaded it on). It will give you the choice of putting it on a blank cd/dvd, or a thumb drive.
Boot from it on your sick system. You may have to go into the bios and set the boot order so it boots from whatever medium you put it on. Make sure to have your network cable plugged in, so it can go out and grab the latest definitions.
If it declares you clean and virus free, then you need a Windows install disk to do a repair. If it detects anything, just do what the prompts tell you.
Good luck, just be patient and you can do it. It's a lot easier than it sounds.
It’s also possible that the hard disk is failing. Sometimes taking the disk out and attaching it to another PC (as a secondary drive) and running chkdsk on it will sort it out.
Palidin2 and apoxonu at 9 and 11 might be on the right track.
If you had this program set in a flash drive so that it could do a virus/trojan recovery from a USB flash drive, the computer might now be looking for that flash drive prior to going to your hard disc and booting from there.
If you can do the key stoke command needed by your computer to open the bios immediately after power is on, your bios should allow you to change to boot order back to boot from your /C drive which might fix the issue.
Check you CMOS setup. It might be pointing at a non-bootable device.
Doh! You should have had PC-Matic installed —now with “SuperShield”
I feel ya bro. I spent 4 hours yesterday working on my youngest daughter’s Dell Inspiron...and, I had the boot disk. I was ready to take it to the shop when, after probably 25-30 restarts, it finally accepted the disc. After the diagnosis/repair function kicked in, it did a check disc and fixed it. Whew.
Going out to look for a backup drive this weekend...and considering a new laptop for the kid.
Good luck.
Reboot in safe mode then select an earlier backup.
Hit F8 when system is restarting and do a restore from an earlier restore point. You’ll lose the program but no files you’ve created or changed.
f8 fix restore
f8 fix restore
What version of Windows are you using?
What has changed? You said you downloaded HM pro after the free trial expired, did you install it or just download it?
Please explain exactly what you see when you power up.
Write every message you see in order until it stops booting.
Does it give you the option to press F8 to boot into safe mode?
Once we know what you’re seeing and what O/S you have and what exactly has changed, we should be able to help although it might require reinstalling Windows and it sounds like you don’t have the disks. You might have an emergency partition Toshiba put on there with the O/S on it and you might be able to recover that way as well.
