    Looking forward to it , I don't care about OnDemand scanning speed , if v6 doesn't slow down the system in real-time then I'm definitely IN :)

    I suppose the reason I can't view the topic on theirs is because I just started an account. :) Cheers

    hmm but the new beta On Demand scan use very little resources compared to previous. (24% at maximum, but on average it will stays on 5% while scanning)

    so not only fast (full system scan used to takes 3 hours, but now its only 30 minutes :D)
    also the cpu usage is much much lower (never use more than 0.5% while standing by)

    and the good news is this is only Beta :D :D :D
    can't wait for the final product :thumb:

    That's all good , but I really don't care how much memory it use, it can use 200mb for all I care as long as I can't feel it.
    As for OnDemand , I run that monthly and while I'm sleeping , so ... :D

    Like I said, the only problem I have with EAM is that it slowed the system so much that it was beyond anything I've seen.
    One clear example, every time when I try to open task manager it's taking about 30 seconds to open.
    No matter what I try to do (exclude it, even turning off every guard/shield) it's still behaves that way.
    Same goes for other programs, response is very very slow.
    And I don't have a rag btw , quad cpu & 8gb of ram.

    I guess the only way to know for sure would be to see it myself :thumb:

    That's right, depending what's your system, but on my laptop, app start up is doing much better. Ex: opening firefox and process explorer is much faster.

    Btw it was cpu usage, not memory usage, sry for not being clear enough ;)

    Thanks. It would be nice to have target information in the pop-ups, for example if there is a warning about a program doing a code injection into another process, it doesn't say which process it is trying to inject to, same with auto-run modifications etc. If you think this could be bring confusion to novice users, then you could make the target info an option in settings disabled by default.

    There are some ideas to make some features available in EAM Free as well. But it is way to early to talk about them in public.

    I like how EAM keeps improving constantly. :D
    That's the best thing of "small" dedicated companies :D
    Not like super sized ones.

    I usually run the beta versions but this time it seems there's a bug with auto start, so i'm waiting for it to be fixed :D
    I'll get 2 licenses of EAM and 1 of OA

    If i purchase a bundle of 3 for EAM, will they give me 1 license to work for 3 PC's or 3 different licenses.
    I really hope it's 3 separate licenses, anyone has a clue? :D
