yes, "Surf protection " in fact download a list of Hosts regularly .

Quote:How does the surf protection work?

Emsisoft Anti-Malware 4.0 introduced a new surf protection feature that uses an internal list with hostnames to block. The surf protection averts, that programs can resolve the IP addresses of hosts/domains. Without the IP, no internet connection can be set up. That is why the protection works independent of programs with all browsers and web applications.

The internal host list in invisible and can not directly be edited.

The data is provided by the hpHosts community project: http://www.hosts-file.net

If you would like to know, why a specific website was rated malicious, please check the hpHost Forum: forum.hosts-file.net

it is why i can add the liste MVPS manually.

Something is really odd here. Installed EAM, updated, restarted and memory on idle at 200k... (followed umbra's guide to configure EAM).

Any ideas anyone?

[loveboy_lion]

while i tested these were the settings have See Screen-shots Not all but important ones
1) I dont know about avast but i have the settings that i used for ESET and EAM of both exclusion and hips
2) Remember to install EAM before ESET and give it a restart otherwise EAM File guard wont Turn-on if ESET is Installed before EAM
3) Change following EAM settings
* File-guard > only check programs before they are executed
* Alerts > Activate Community based alert reduction and intelligent alert reduction
4)Configure ESET the way you want and disable the following option dont remember exact name but its some ting similar to "Do not allow any user process to start until real-time protection is active"
5) Configure ESET and EAM exclusion as in the screenshot below and Do a Quick scan of both with both of them enabled
6) Remember first restart after EAM and ESET together may take some time than normal

and have you tried Comodo DND which released it may help you to speed up your games http://www.dndstation.com/

I have installed EAM with ESET already installed, although I was aware of the issue you had. Fileguard was on unlike your case. I did an update, restarted and was constantly sitting at 200k...
just now dropped to 86k.

Even ESET is on 69K at the moment since this morning.

I might just remove EAM for now until I figure it out what is going on.

Will also download DND into vm to test run it, despite I have disabled quite some services already.

Edit: Got a BSoD and was caused by EAM.

Booted on Safe Mode and uninstalled it.

Think ill stick to EEK for it instead.

I guess You and i are stuck with ESET due to our Gaming needs since nothing else works as ESET when it comes to Gaming and overall performance with good detection :-P

If i am wrong plz correct me so that i can use some other security suite which Does the same except CIS
And plz dont say EAM since i dont have a key for it hopefully will get it soon

Guess you replied without seeing my edit feature.
Had BSoD.

not many users experienced BSoD with EAM but guess I am one of the minority here.

The only other solution I can think off that never dropped my FPS nor gave me any lag was CIS.

Also on CAV I had it on Access Scan, excluded the games folders, processes and everything in every module of CIS.

On ESET right now I am on stock settings apart from HIPS disabled which I will intend to Re-enable it and learn mode for 14 days and then go perhaps policy base.

I have tried nearly all single engines solutions for gaming... One that came close was AVG and Avira but even so, I just didn't feel comfortable.

I got a low risk of infection by default so the main reason I am with ESET is not its detection rate nor the fact that I am an user since good old version 2.7 but its lightness.

update: removed RT protection and added a few security suites to the mix for testing purposes.

Not a config I would recommend anyone since there is no Real Time protection.

You're running on a Standard UA, how have you found it compared to an Admin UA?

Since My laptop sometimes is used by other users, Standard UA is fine.

Only downfall is when installing software most of the time will request the admin password, but that is about it. Since I don't often install stuff on the host (ok some software here and there) it is fine.
