[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 840053"] First, ex-Emsisoft Community Manager here. And not the strongest features it has. Because despite not being uber popular it has an history of unfailed reliability. It's BB was originally a standalone product called Mamutu, pioneer of BBs. In the past, you had access to every of its rules and could even modify them. Since Emsisoft decided to focus on Average Joe, most of those rules are now hidden to avoid misuses. Was a year ago. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.emsisoft.com/en/31707/emsisoft-anti-malware-2018-7-beta/amp/[/URL] It uses to score very well, but lost points due to some FPs. Then Emsisoft seems the cost/benefits of participating in some test labs not worthy. Note than Emsisoft is a small company and can't afford wasting money on trivial stuff. Don't compare Windows full spectrum built-in security with an AV. EAM is only an AV, not a suite. All the security is powered via the dual-engine scanner and BB. Emsisoft had a suite with homemade firewall but it was abandoned to refocus resources to EAM only. Also Emsisoft consider Windows Firewall good enough to manage connections and have a feature in the BB to reinforce it by preventing unwanted apps to modify its rules. [/QUOTE]
