App Review Emsisoft Behavior Blocker Test Review

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

I tested only BB feature. I closed the other protection components.
Sorry, I forgot to disable Windows Defender, it shows an alert in the video but I disabled it after.
I have to restart VM at 7.40 - 9.50 - 12.40 mins, you will see the CPU shows %100 sometimes and VM is not usable. Sometimes CPU at %5-6 but I cannot click on "quarantine to block the action.
I also disabled Malware Network to make BB naked. In my opinion it needs to be improved.
Please do not misunderstood the review, it is a BB review only BB. EAM is good product with all its components. :)
Request here, I hope I can did the review as you want :)

Nice video but i have a suggestion: You should speed it up ( in Camtasia add 125/150% speedup value).

Thank you very much, Yigido.

Emsi Behavior Blocker is good, but I see some issues on my system:

  • If BB and AMN alerts appear at same time, then EAM/EIS might hang/freeze, alerts appear with no info, etc.
  • Sometimes BB alerts mis-behave

I think the issue you confirm is that EAM/EIS sometimes hang when running apps are quarantined via the BB detail alert. In addition, I know, for sure, that if a running application is manually added to Quaratine then EAM/EIS will hang/freeze and/or return error message.

Yigido you should post link to your video on Emsisoft support forum so that Development (Frank H or Fabian Wosar) can see for themselves (Oh, they probably already know about the issues, but sometimes it is good to show them BB issues are being scrutinized...:rolleyes:)

Everyone should report their specific issues while using EAM/EIS to Emsi support.
