    I know the detection is superior but how about false positives? The last time I tried EEK I got 3 FP ... :doubt:

    FWIW, over the several months I have used EAM I have not gotten a single FP.

    I did have 2 FP's from the almost 2 years of using it. Both were fixed within 24 hours after submitting.

    Hitman PRO detected many false positives on my machine, even more than Emsisoft did in years, I have yet to find a false positive!

    People just want to make a brilliant program bad :'( :'( :'(

    I must agree, they are fast, sometimes faster than KIS or CIS. Don't know about NIS, since I never really use it. Panda Cloud is also a fast one, but still considerably slower than Emsisoft, in my opinion. It might be different for you, depends on the virus/situation. :thumb: :thumb:

    The thing I like most about Emsisoft's BB, is the community ratings it shows, that helps me make a decision... :D

    Overall brilliant program, I would like to see how it grows in future versions, maybe they will make the BB more robust, or add a sandbox o_O o_O Who knows.

    Are you sure it isn't a problem because of other security software? Did you buy it, or is it a trial? How long before this problem occurs? Did you or did you not ask in the Emsisoft forum? Are you using default settings?

    it still has the spinning horse icon so i assumed that would be updated at the same time as the new scan engine?

    As I previous posted in this thread, the previous version worked fine, and I didn't changed my security configuration. May be that the new beta with his fix will solve the issue.
