Finally. But it's worth the time.

 

Is this good enough to replace a dedicated AV?

Paul

 

It is a dedicated AV. It uses the Ikarus engine, which has a very high detection rate, plus the Emsisoft inhouse engine.

 

It looks like all the AV's releasing their new versions with intervals of a few days.. Who's next in the series? Maybe Avast! 7? Who knows

 

Is the Emergency kit going to be updated to v6 soon?

 

@Paul
yes you can replace any av with emsisoft, you can for exsample see test results in mrg tests.
with version 6 the scanning speed is much faster and i also think the ram and cpu usage
@King Grub do not forget host blocking and behaviour blocker

Is the tray icon still the same? The yellowy goldy shield?

It's a very important feature you know!

 

Emsisoft have been working very hard making this a stable and good product and have taken time to test and minimize the number of bugs, instead of rushing a unfinished product. Very good job Emsisoft

 

Wasn't this posted already in post #1?
Or did you add some extra's?

Always wanted to try this AV. Maybe I will test it out in a vm.

How is this new version running for you guys?

 

needs low system resources.
scanning speed is ok for me, not as fast as avira and other, but much better as the version 5.
all malware i tested is blocked by an module of emsi, from rogue to rootkit

 

Any english reviews?

 

I'll have to run it in VM and see how it fares. Now that I'm done testing avira.

 

Is there still no realtime protection in the free version?

 

Free version only has On Demand scan as always

 

Still drags the system down ?

 

Hopefully there will be a giveaway.
This is the only AV solution worth either money or attention.

 

No, it doesn't.

 

Same here. Let us know your results.

 

don't forget the behavior blocker and surf protection.

 

WOw. The mem usage is down a lot. Both services were running at a total of 2k. There were times when it ran up to 46k but that was at startup and quickly dropped to idle.
As far as detection goes, its very good. Ran about 30 or so links from MDL, Clean-MX.de and malc0de. About 24 of the links were caught by signatures. 2-3 were blocked by the surf protection and the rest were found by BB. It did miss some weird banker console. It didn't appear to be doing much and was easily stopped.
Also the quick scan is actually quick. I was surprised. During the initial install it asks which scan you want to perform. I picked the quick scan and decided to get some food. I looked backed 10 min later and it was done. Wow.
Good job emsisoft. I participated very little in this beta testing over at emsisoft forums but I checked in occasionally. It took a while but I think it was well worth it. Excellent Job.
