Emsisoft Anti-Malware 8.1 released

Go ahead and install it.

 

Can you run this with MBAM pro or is it redundant?

 

Yes, you can...it is not redundant.
Just make sure to put exclusions in both apps.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I did and it's great. I love the lack of bloat!

 

how its going with the Beta

 

At last!!! A new GUI!

 

Not only a new GUI, they will be releasing a new suite "Emsisoft Internet Security".

 

EIS=EAM+new FW-old HIPS

 

So it's okay? I haven't tried it in 6 months or so...and you know me, my middle name is "lack of bloat"!

 

I installed it yesterday, and the first thing I noticed was the lack of pop ups and advertising. I've done a few scans and am reading the instructions. I like it!

 

You will be fine.

 

Very nice. Online armor is included in EAM from v 9 and forward?

Any work being made on the heavy overhead EAM causes?

Protection-wise EAM is top-3 in the world! It's a bit too heavy still though.

 

Emsisoft Internet Security will not have OA HIPS but will have a new firewall module. So it's basically the current engines + BB + Surf Protection + Firewall.

 

It sounds good Noob (new EIS)...will I need to mortgage my house to afford it?

 

Emsisoft provides one of the cheapest solutions in the industry. They also often have insanely good deals.

 

Rock solid! I hope they work hard to reduce the overhead on performance.

 

That would be great.

Absolutely. In some countries Emsisoft products are very cheap on their own website.

 

Try running a sigcheck with VT enabled: Emsisoft really hits the FP-jackpot, seriously ANDROID Trojan on a Win7 setup, detecting Microsoft signed files

With all these FP's Emsisoft is always the only one to detect (see picture). Emsisoft even beats Vietnamese and Chinese AV's on FP's

B engine = BitDefender

I read in Emsisoft forum that there is a bug with Emsisoft's secondary engine and VT ...

I think during all these years using EAM i've had 3-4 FPs. The last one was in 2011.

All of them were reported and fixed within 24 hours using the tool in EAM (Report as safe) except one that was a bad update and screwed up my Desktop OS.

 

...and that was with Ikarus engine aboard.....
Emsi support is fantastic...they correct FPs and make signatures very quickly....which is not what I've seen very often....

 

let me know when the final of version 9 comes out

 

Somebody's not doing his homework. Considering he's ignorant enough to PAY for dreck not even good enough for AVC, I'm not that surprised.

 

Please stop the trolling, it's annoying.

 

...and unnecessary.
