Both programs are good it depends on what you expect from certain software and what are the possibilities of your system and you have to choose the same, only one of them.o_O

If we consider detection,protection and other important things ,i'd choose Emsisoft, but here we have comparison:

Price: Malwarebytes
Detection: Emsisoft
Proactive defense: Emsisoft (Behaviour blocker)
Web protection: Emsisoft
Perfomance impact on system: Malwarebytes
GUI: Both
Memory usage: Emsisoft
Startup time: Malwarebytes
Removal speed: Malwarebytes
Updates (size and time): Malwarebytes

Hope this helps :)

MBAM is anti malware you can easily use it with any other good security suite but emsisoft is anti virus itself. So basically we cannot compare two variables of different datatypes. Emsisoft is way advanced than mbam.

Emsisoft AM is a full blown AV while MBAM is not considered to be a product to stay in a system alone since its just focuses where the threats that mostly AV misses.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware is a full featured Anti-virus / Anti-malware program, with methods to prevent to malware damage with it's Behaviour Blocker (Mamutu). They also offer an Internet Security suite with the addition Firewall, for complete protection.

Malwarebytes Anti-malware is not an Antivirus, therefore cannot replace standard AV software. It's great for on-demand scanning on infected computers. However, some users may use MBAM (Premium) alongside their current Antivirus, but this is something I do not recommend for a few reasons.

If you're looking for an Antivirus, go for Emsisoft Anti-Malware, or for complete protection Emsisoft Internet Security. For on-demand use, the free version of Malwarebytes would be sufficient for weekly/monthly system checks.

I use BIS total security with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (Premium) and Zamana antilogger.
Thats the reason should I go with Emisoft Antimalware??

If you're using Bitdefender Total Security, you do not need either of Emsisoft or Malwarebytes, adding additional real-time protection module do not increase protection if you don't change your browsing habits. Bitdefender doesn't play nicely with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware anyway.

Why use Bitdefender, if you can't protect yourself from malware?
