Wow.. you made me go 10 years back!The days when we only had to use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to clean our infected systems are over it seems
Couldn't have said it better myself! Indeed, version 1.75 was the best. Version 2 wasn't ok and now version 3......Let's just say I'd like for them to go back to their roots. Get their detection rates back up there and BAM they could be right back up there with the 'big boys' or the top 'best' in their competition.

Is Zemana Antimalware still available as a free on demand scanner? The reason I ask is because not long ago quite a few people here were raving about how good it was. Is that still the case and how does it compare against EEK?
Yes it´s free as on demand scanner and I found it like the best in its category. I love EEK, but it is very slow in my system, so I go with Zemana in first place. Both, IMO, are equal in quality and the only difference I find is the speed of scanning

Exactly the same here. EEK very slow scan and also really slowed things down on my computer and it's also a pretty big download.
Good job Emsisoft!
Or Bitdefender.
Trend Micro, Dr. Web and Bitdefender results fascinate me. The rest you can throw away.

As usual, a useless review because they left out NPE, Zemana and Hitman...... which would score at the top.... I wonder why.
I use combination of WD Offline, Kaspersky Rescue disk, Dr. web cure it, ZAM premium and MBAM Free.
Dr. Web had better chance of booting on EFI systems with latest hardware like NVMe drives and its detection.
KRD and ESET always failed at EFI usb boot.

No...the test isn't useless and the key-word is "if"...the producer must be interested to join this test and than perhaps should agree to some terms. If no...no test...no result.As usual, a useless review because they left out NPE, Zemana and Hitman...... which would score at the top.... I wonder why.

AVLab charges a fee for the testing. Not all security soft publishers know about the testing and not all of the ones that do know about the testing are willing to pay the fee. Finally, not all security soft publishers are interested in participating in the testing and refuse the invitation to participate for a wide range of reasons.
Not useless, just technically not comprehensive. Not AVLab's fault.
AVLab is not in the business of testing for free so users can know what security softs are best. Neither are any of the other AV test labs. Besides "What is best AV" based solely upon a single test result in time is not a reliable measure from user to user and system to system. "What is best AV" is a combination of both objective measures and subjective considerations.

I also have a lifetime license. and I'm waiting for them to fix it. To use it.[/Q
Ditto.
Please, Emsisoft AM isn't only Bit Defender.
Emsisoft uses 2 engines, A (our own) which is maintained by our Malware Analysis Team, where we add all malware (especially PUP & ransomware) we found by ourselves; and B (Bitdefender).
When BD releases a signature, if we have it already (which happen quite often), we just clean it from our own engine to avoid duplicates and increase the efficiency of EAM.
Note we also implement in our own engine some custom malware removal code for specific infections, so why EEK score very well and is praised and used by many IT personnel.

Indeed very nice! Smart to remove from one so that you do not have duplicates - makes things run a lot faster too! Keep up your great work! I'm truly impressed.

Yes that is true but in the past it was very good just like Malwarebytes(with the red gui) but now it catches mostly cookies

I remember, it was the best at that time, Adaware + Spybot S&D = adware/spyware free combo

why they dont update it?KVRT2015 has not been upgraded for more than 2 years, They still give support of signatures and access to the cloud, but I guess the tool got a bit obsolete, anyway still valid as We can see in some tests
