Ashampoo AntiMalware Free

Sorry what engines are we saying this is using?

THANKS

 

Emisoft / Asquared

 

emsi/a2... isn't it the same? AFAIK, Emsisoft's Anti-Malware uses 2 engines aswell, A2 & Ikarus... correct me if i'm wrong please.

 

True, Ashampoo use A2 & Ikarus engines.

This label IK=Ikarus engine
A2 label is emisisoft antispy engin.

 

There is tray icon pull-down item to select and deselect automatic updates and no other control for the update behavior is otherwise available in the UI or settings.

I contacted support to find out how often the updates occur. Not quite able to believe the response, I figured maybe something was getting "lost in the translation" (German, English).

I resubmitted my inquiry and can verify that AA-M updates the definitions "automatically" upon a system reboot and only then. Their support confirmed if a system remains on 24/7 the user must manually select the "check for updates" item in the pull-down...
"If you never reboot your System, you can take a look manually if Updates available."

Either that is the actual default behavior or support is wrong. Whichever it is, it's sad. Very sad.

 

This quote of a previous post within this thread is provided at no charge to the attention deficit afflicted user(s) of the Wilders forum.

 

On their site, they have mentioned that Emsisoft releases at least five updates per day.

 

@Boyfriend (Well, that's awkward.)
Emsisoft, and Ikarus for that matter, can release updates 1,568,202 times a day but if the client doesn't check for them by itself then it's not automatic. Duh.

 

You misspelled "Duh."

But seriously -- I agree with what you said but it's odd that "automatic" doesn't mean "automatic" in their GUI. GOOD grief!

 

Does anybody has a review of this AV
Ashampoo antispyware was good for me, but this friend doesn´t give me a big hope

 

Both versions look old.

 

hmm fun apart how does the shampoo smells?

 

So if you've got Emisoft's Anti-Malware, then it's pretty much the same thing?


THANKS

 

Same thing as having Ashampoo AM? Not exactly, with Emsi's AM you get a2 + Ikarus most recent engines... Ashampoo's engines are kind of out-dated...

 

No. They are not outdated.

 

Either way, they ARE NOT the most recent ones...

 

Scratch that I'll just stick with EAM...


THANKS
