Emsisoft is a New Zealand company that has been offering anti-malware software for several years.
Formerly A-Squared, the company has evolved over the years to offer a very solid solution.
For 2024, there are few changes in the program, but let's see if Emsisoft is still effective...
User interface :
The interface is very clear, suitable for both novices and geeks addicted to configuration.
Emsisoft has 2 engines: Bitdefender and its own.
On the other hand, the software is as heavy as ever, and disk impacts are quite violent...
Web protection: 10/10
Emsisoft offers excellent Web blocking by blacklisting at source. It also offers a Web extension, but this is a bit useless for me.
Fake crack : 1/1
Emsisoft intercepts the file directly with its behavioral protection.
Malware Pack : Remaining 17 out of 698 threats.
Emsisoft has 2 excellent detection engines capable of detecting all kinds of threats.
At runtime, the anti-malware was able to intercept attacks by multiplying its shields: Web blocking, proactivity and Cloud blocking.
An infection seems to have passed, but I suspect Emsisoft has blocked it, as I can't see any activity and the disinfection solutions don't notice anything...
Final scan :
Emsisoft : 1
Autoruns : 0 malicious keys (KillSwitch AutoRuns)
NPE : 0
KVRT: 0
Malwarebytes : 0
Final opinion:
Emsisoft is a powerful, highly protective anti-malware program capable of protecting any machine.
With its powerful shields against malware, Emsisoft has made a machine healthy.
However, memory and disk impacts clearly need to be improved, as it can really slow down the machine...
Emsisoft is recommendable.
