Emsisoft Anti-Malware & Emsisoft Internet Security 10 available

But it isnt working correctly in my machine, again it did a update when I was playing a game in full screen mode.

 

Well, updating improvement short lived; at least on my PC. Performance today for first cold boot of the day was on par to that prior to these recent updates.

Personally, I believe this has to do with the "mass update" approach Bitdefender uses. Eset on my PC updates at cold boot time in few seconds and uses no more than 3 ports in the process.

 

Yes, it does not probably recognise it. So that's why I have suggested to see the manual settings.

 

Same thing happens here. Disabling the firewall module in EIS enables my ethernet connection to respond within seconds of booting, whereas with the firewall module enabled, the adapter takes a couple of minutes to load up and become functional.

 

Mine is Emsisoft Antimalware so no Firewall here.

 

I had the same issue with lagging network adapter activation a while ago. I remember I didn't have any Emsisoft products installed. Just my 2c, it might be worth looking elsewhere for issues if the only Emsisoft product installed is AM. A search engine might be of use here; I remember there were some tips and tricks to troubleshoot lagging adapters...

It could any number of things, from harsh system/registry cleansing, to old drivers and dodgy tweaking... fingers crossed you have a backup prior to slow adapter connection.

 

FYI, EIS seems not yet fully ready for Windows 10 here (and windows 10 is indeed not ready yet). I got weird delays during restart/shutdown as well as blocking windows update to do its work. I have the impression is mainly the firewall part having problems. I will run the EAM in trial mode meanwhile things will get better.

EDIT: EAM exhibit the same problem...

 

Same experience here with EAM on Windows 10. Restart and shutdown problems. On Windows 8.1 no problems.

 

The behavior of the whitelist changed recently. It should now whitelist the object name, not the detection name. So it would only whitelist that specific TaskMgr.exe hijack.

Game mode is not automatic. We only suppress notifications while full screen applications are running, but don't disable any kind of functionality.

Any chance I can take a look at that system using TeamViewer?

Can you please try to reset your global firewall rules? You can do so under "Settings"/"General". Click the "Factory defaults" button, check the "Global firewall rules" checkbox and click "OK".

Microsoft managed to mess up the latest builds quite badly when it comes to WFP and NDIS. We are already working on a solution.

 

Thanks

 

That did the trick; you're a genius!
The odd thing is that I hadn't altered the firewall rules from the default since installing EIS. Anyway...

 

We changed the default rule set recently. Usually EIS will apply the new default rules upon update, but on some systems that didn't work in all cases. That is why resetting the rules helps in those cases .

 

Thanks! MS always try to make your life more exciting, you never known what's next

 

Computer doesn´t shut down and starts after a while again, using Win 10 Build 10166. What´s the problem?

Edit: I mean Emsisoft Internet Security.

 

Scheduled and manual scans freeze before completion. Anyone else experiencing this?

 

Just a left field question here. Any Emsisoft rep feel free to answer as I'm curious.

Since you were named as a target by NSA in slides released by the inquisitor have you looked at your own network to see if you have been breached by the NSA?

Sorry if this is off topic but I'm curious to know the answer since I respect Emsisoft as a company a lot due it's privacy settings on it's software.

 

BTW, Emsisoft Blog here: http://blog.emsisoft.com/2015/06/23/the-nsa-is-just-one-malware-writer-out-of-thousands/

 

Thanks

 

Seems like the issue i had with the BB screwing up the browsers now also happens on my desktop BUT now when i disable the BB it still somewhat cripples the browser and the WHOLE PC.
After i disabled the whole suite, the PC worked as it should. No lags, no slowdowns, everything smooth as silk!

Theres something wrong with the latest update.

 

My question still stands: Any chance I can take a look at one of the affected systems via TeamViewer?

 

Sure, maybe in the next couple days when i get the laptop. I'll PM you when i have it.
Not really worried about my desktop since i need to format it due to it being a big mess. I've installed and uninstalled so many things that its a mess.

After testing by disabling individual modules, it seems that in my desktop the cause is the firewall? With the firewall enabled, i could not even update EIS because it said that it failed to connect. After disabling it, i managed to update it.
Now, after updating EIS the browser and the PC seems to be working alright except that it fails to load any Youtube videos when i have the firewall enabled.
Maybe it's related to the a2hosts.dat file?

Still not sure what is the cause.

 

I recently put Emsisoft on this OS as my real-time AV. I'm surprised I don't see any active threads on this product so I started my own. It seems like a nice light, unbloated product without a bunch of modules I don't need like most AV's these days, which is a pet peeve of mine. My idea of a realtime AV is a resident file scanner and nothing else. Well of course manual updating and scanning too. Avira in the v5-6 days is my idea(l) of what a realtime AV should be. And this product (Emsisoft) came closest to what I was looking for. It came down to it and ESET as my final choices.

Does anyone else have any experience with this product? Please do tell.

 

I own EAM and EIS and love both. Very light on system impact and great protection. I also own Eset but Emsisoft is my go to product now. Buy it, it is worth every cent and affords you some of the best protection you can buy.

 

Already did. My main criteria was to have something that felt light and not bloated down with a bunch of useless/redundant modules. Detection rates were about the last thing I cared about, as strange as that may sound to many. Since my odds of being infected are about the same as being struck by lightning a few percentage points on some independent test don't rank very high on my list of priorities.

It's the closest thing I've found these days to my ideal AV. It's no surprise that you like it too because I remember you also used to be a huge fan of Avira Free back in it's golden days (v5-6, or so). Now THAT was an AV! I remember doing tweaks to make it basically like the paid version without the web shield (which I didn't like anyway). That was my favorite real-time AV of all time... the gold standard. I'd pay good money if Avira released a version like that again. Too many modules now bloating products down. And with stuff that's just overlap that other tools I have do already, and better.

Emsisoft is the closest thing you can get to that these days, that I found anyway. They haven't lost sight of what's important in an AV... what it's all about. I respect them for that.

I still don't use a real-time AV on my XP Pro machines, but on my Win7 Ult. one I'm not as confient that I have as firm a grasp on it, or that it's even possible to lock it down to the degree XP Pro can be, so I wanted to use one for it and Emsisoft fit the bill.

 

I just hope they don't fall victim to "keeping up with the Jones's" mentality and start adding a bunch of fluff just to create the illusion of more protection. The main focus should always be on improving the engine and the detection/defs. And I'm talking like 90+% of the attention. With the rest making it user friendly/well laid out, reliable updating/update servers, and scheduling (for scanning and updating). If a company would focus on those things and those things alone instead of wasting their time on adding shiny new toys for people to stare at they could make an AV that would have no equal. But unfortunately people like their shiny shields/things, and wouldn't/didn't buy it if/when it existed. And so now we have crap to choose from. Money speaks. I can't blame Avir, err.... I mean the vendors.
