Emsisoft Anti-Malware 8.1 released

hey don't flame bait people okay and besides i was asking them a nice ? as well

 

Signature updates for me are less than 100 kb now, maybe some kind of tweak?

 

man its database is huge almost 13 millions

 

12.198.467 for now

Emsisoft really made a great job with hybrid updates, very low traffic required.

My last update was just 37804 bytes (36.9 kb)

 

Im not sure if that was with me or what?

don't worry it wasn't you he was going after me because i use gdata

 

Sorry, I wasn't attacking you or Emsi.

~snip~ Unnecessary remarks removed.

 

Does anyone known what blocklist EAM is using in the Surf Protection module. In the past it was hpHosts. I was wondering if it still is or now something different.

Also, are there any additional blocklists you can use with EAM and how to install them. EAM hosts rules allows for both their own list and "my own."

 

I think you can also add a custom one

 

Yes, I believe you can. I am trying to find which list already available is compatible with EAM and how to load it.

 

just upload the entire folder well I guez I am going to try to upload the mvps host file to emsisoft list
I cant do it I can not upload the mvps host file does anyone knows how to do it?

 

If you find out how to add an additional blocking list to EAM please let me know.

 

for sure man

 

We compile the list ourselves now. In general the system is clever enough to remove any duplicates. So you can just import the host lists you want and anything that is covered by our our list will be removed.

 

Fabian - Say I want to then add the hpHosts list. Where would I put the list on my computer so that EAM recognizes it.

 

When you navigate to Guard → Host Rules you should be able to see Import hosts file link in lower left corner. Since I never used that future I don't know if it's what you are seeking, but it's not so bad place to start IMO.

HTH

 

thank I will try it

 

Yes that worked. Downloaded hpHosts to a file folder and unzipped it. Went to EAM Host Rules and imported the hpHosts list. It took awhile for EAM to merge them. Once it did you can see which are "my own" and which are EAM's. You can even turn one or the other off. Never thought about using this feature before.

 

can you try to install mvps host file to see if it work,it didn't work for me and just becarefull cause to much host may slow down pc alitle bit

 

If you remove "my own" will the EAM list be restored on the next update from your server?

 

Have to figure out how to remove/replace hpHost list first.

 

ok maybe difficult

 

To remove large numbers of custom imported hosts, I'd suggest to use the export/import feature in General Settings.

Export the host rules (only custom hosts will be exported) to a plain text file, edit the file to remove specific lines and import back.

Note: The next major version will introduce a factory defaults feature to do that with just 2 clicks (reset specific areas of the configuration).

 

Okay thanks Christian. It is just easier to use your built in one as you are constantly updating it and I don't have to do anything.
