Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.0 released!

OA isn't installed, it comes and goes and the popup good well be diligent self-awareness

edit: Just had a idee, Windows 7 and Vista Security Center service is set at automatic delayed startup up. I change it to Automatic, the problem seems to disappear.

 

Any idea if the release of v6 Emergency kit is near?

 

Haven't heard a single word of that.

 

I think the pop up is related to the service and program itself shutting off when you're shutting down the computer, that pop up is just the alert to let you now your AV has been disabled but who cares if the PC is shutting down?

 

I get that popup sometimes, its no big deal.

 

I get it always if i pay enough attention

 

After getting "Very Tired" of Trialing Several Free/paid AV's-
All I tried had low detection rates, blocked normal settings changes, slowed my fast computer/internet...-
After "Happily" Trialing Fast Emsisoft Anti-Malware (AV only/No OA!), #1 detection rate at http://malwareresearchgroup.com/category/malwareproducttesting/ / http://www.anti-malware-reviews.com/ (see how your AV stacks up here!), I bought it with a Very Good 1/2 off Special Offer deal at http://download.cnet.com/Emsisoft-Anti-Malware/3000-2239_4-10292236.html (BTW- Don't download EAM Trial from cnet, as it isn't usually the latest version! Download here- http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/ is Now Fast!)

 

Good to know you joined that bandwagon

 

@scottls, welcome aboard.

 

I use the free version as an on-demand scanner. I've experienced an update issue several times in which the program states that it's going to download over 70 MB of updates, yet I had just updated the day before. If I cancel the update, and try to update again, then I get a much smaller update. The issue has occurred with v6.0.0.52 and possibly older versions also.

 

When i used the free version and i didn't updated it for a few days it would download the whole database again but it never happened if i updated it at least once a day

 

Update problem for a couple of hours. Message " Could not connect to update server. Please check your internet connection and proxy settings."
Also posted on Emsisoft forum.

 

Same here. Their server must be down. My other programs are updating okay.

 

Thanks.

 

Really? Let me try to update . . .
EDIT: Same here guys, just noticed EAM have not been able to update in the last 4 hours.

 

Windows Experience Index only works if I remove emsisoft....mmm difficult choice

 

But you want to know what yor score is though, so...

 

No big deal, just a index. I have seen this behavior before trying out kaspersky and I believe it was v.10

 

Can anyone download without changing the hosts file? Currently down for 13 hours.

 

Still down here also, just tried a manual update.

 

Really the update worked for you?
Tried manual update and it has the same connection error, verified automatic updates log and they all seem to have failed.
Lets give Emsisoft some time, i'm pretty sure they are working on it

 

No update here, still the connection error. I modified my hosts file and got the latest update then reverted my hosts file back.

Instructions from Fabian Wosar at Emsisoft:

"As a temporary workaround you can force EAM to use a specific server by adding an entry to your hosts file:

80.237.191.2 update.emsisoft.com

This is only a temporary solution and I strongly suggest to remove the entry after you performed an update. The server IPs change quite often so chances are you will end up with a disconnected IP at one day."

I used the option in WinPatrol to view, then edit the Hosts file.

 

Well, after a few minutes i tried again and it worked!
Tried 4 times and all of them worked!
No tweaks was done, i did not modify the HOSTS . . . what i did was just try a few times and now it's working smoothly!!

 

Update works here. I'm in Sweden and never had problem.
