Emsisoft Anti-Malware & Emsisoft Internet Security 12

Thank you.

 

Do you have "AppContainer Lockdown" enabled in chrome flags?
You have to undo that when running EAM.

 

Do you uncheck the "Protect the computer even when no user is logged in" to help make the boot up process quicker?

 

I do actually thanks!

 

Had the same problem with Google Chrome...

Another tweak is under protection> Surf Protection I have Privacy risks set to "Block silently".

 

Yes, with this config EAM has minimal impact on system performance and the same pratical protection.

It is similar to Fabian's settings:

Thanks again will set that up. Cheers!

 

Yes sir did that as noted above and all seems ok now. Thanks!

I have a green shield with a little yellow pacman in it on my system. Does this denote gamer mode?

 

Yes it is, did you manually activated it? It should be automatic ...

 

Yes had to manually activate it.

 

Thanks no biggy. I just noticed it appear after I activated game mode.

 

It is better to leave it off, when you use a fullscreen app it will be automatically enabled.

 

Did not realize that. Just disabled it. Thank you.

 

Strange I just did this and EAM did not detect anything.

 

I did the same thing. In fast mode emsisoft doesn't detect the file but in balanced mode it does

 

Yes thank you. I had it set to fast and nothing. Switched to balanced and it detected it. Thanks for the heads up.

Interesting. Still not sure why EAM did not detect the zip file on download. Even WD with the PUP powershell hack detected it.

 

I just test my EIS , it will deleted the file when i just finish download .

I think your EAM did not detect zip file when it finish download ,
it's because the EIS had WFP (Windows Filtering Platform) driver to filter network traffic ,
and EAM do not .

just for guess , not sure about it .

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Makes sense. On "fast" setting, Emsisoft detects malware when they execute.

Here's a link explaining in better detail:

Thanks!

 

IMO "fast" setting is the best, no lose of protection and minimal system impact.

Refer to Fabian Wosar settings and reasoning:

The only reason "balanced" still exist is because of tests and to avoid confusion of users thinking that there is something wrong with the software.

 

Thanks for those links.

 

Makes sense but it does not catch the eicar.zip file with fast enabled.

On another note, is EAM ok to be the only av/am installed on a pc? Or should there be something else to compliment it with? I normally use another third party av but due to some issues I am looking for something else. I am currently running just WD.

Thanks and sorry for my ignorance of this product. Never used it in the past.
