    I should have waited then. Oh well.

    Btw I really like EEK as a secondary scanner. It's awesome. And hardly anyone besides a few know about EEK. Besides here at Wilders of course.


    Where can I find the exact version you know 12.xxxx?

    My shows 12.0.0.6971.
    It took me some time to find it - you have to click on button with FB, Twitter, YT icons but not directly on any icon. It's not obvious...

    TY!

    When I want to rerun EEK after closing it. I have to disable the Emsisoft process a2emergencykit.exe in Task Manager 1st. Anyone else? W7P64 here.

    I also use it on Windows 7 x64 and don't have this happening. After I close it, process ends and I can run it again with no problem.

    IDK, you can try disabling any other security software if you have it running. You can also try deleting an app and re-downloading latest version.

    After update to 2017.2 update process is much longer. Download speed is the same but installing phase is much much slower. Maybe it's connected to this change:

    Unfortunately, offer for real-time protection (I guess that's new feature) is displayed each time EEK is closed:

    Did one more test - this message is displayed even when another real-time AV is installed. Some vendors might not be happy with wording in this message: "Mediocre security solutions..."

    I got a "Did Bitdefender let you down?" message.

    Whoa, classy Emsisoft could do better than this. "Phew, all clean" doesn't appeal to me either. At least "awesome" doesn't factor in there somewhere.

    It's a marketing tactic--twang!. I wonder which "mediocre product" Emsi had in mind. But OK, whatever. :blink:

    I do not pay any attention to it, they all do this in one way or another. EEK is an excellent portable free tool.

    Agree, it's great OD scanner. No whining on my side - just an observation.

    Wow, I didn't expect that. Specially since no threats were found. And EEK uses BDs signatures as mekelek posted.
