Battle Avast Internet Security or Emsisoft AM + HitmanPro.Alert or Zemana AM.

[Jack Sparoow]

Hi all members.
I want to know the best combination of the following programs:
1-Avast internet security.
2-Emsisoft Anti Malware.
3-Hitman Pro Alert.
4-Zemana Anti Malware premium.

What is best, do not really know, but I would go with Avast IS+Zemana Anti-Malware(paid, so you get realtime protection)and perhaps Voodoo-Shield, it is not that expensive, and it can save your but.

Between Avast and Emsi I would pick Emsisoft because of it's not buggy like avast and the behavior blocker in Emsi is much better than Avast.
Avast Free Antivirus / Pro Antivirus / Internet Security/ Premier just take a look at the forum and you will see bugs, problems...so it's not recommended:notworthy:
if I want to run Esmi then my combo would be Emsisoft+GitHub - henrypp/simplewall: Simple tool to configure Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) which can configure network activity on your computer. and I think it will be more than enough.
I will not use hitman pro alert because its problematic.
I will rely on windows updates and maybe a sandboxed browser(or a chromium browser with tweaked settings and some extensions) for exploits and rare malware

2-Emsisoft Anti Malware.
3-Hitman Pro Alert.

2 of the 4 softs i am using right now.

There is no such thing as best but I would suggest Emsisoft Antimalware and Zemana Antimalware ads a good combo.

I am running EAM along with HMPA without any problems. I have heard a lot of people talk about how problematic HMPA really is, but I haven't had a single issue with it until now. Just put HMPA in the exclusion list of EAM and you're good to go.

 

[user5197]

currently im using EAM , i'll recommend emsisoft with voodooshield and simplewall

 

[Dhruv2193]

emsisoft anti-malware with hitman pro or emsisoft anti-malware with zemana. Using emsisoft currently, have tried zemana and hitman pro before.

I even run both betas, no issues so far

I would go for an antivirus only, either Avast IS or EAM. Perhaps add ZAM free. I wouldn't choose ZAM Premium; last time I checked, its realtime was actually poor; as for HMP.A, I would prefer it over ZAM.

emsisoft anti-malware with hitman pro or emsisoft anti-malware with zemana. Using emsisoft currently, have tried zemana and hitman pro before.

That's what I thought

• Learning curve (Ease of Use)-Emsisoft AM + Zemana AM premium.
• Graphical User Interface-Emsisoft AM+ Hitman Pro alert
• Exclusive Features & Functionality-Avast IS +Hitman Pro alert

If you use Emsisoft i suggest you to use sandbox software like sandboxie and a phishing protection.EMSI is bit low on phishing protection.

Avast internet security + on-demand scanner

 

[tonibalas]

Set up a VM run the combos Avast+.... and EAM+.... and see how they are performing.
I think then you can find out what is best for you.
Personally i would definitely add HitmanProAlert and keep ZAN as an on demand scanner.
Now which av your choice.

 

[Plebman123]

Emsisoft AM and Zemana are a pretty decent combo and i use it on most of my PC's
But if you want to test them yourself in a VM *Virtual Machine*

Avast has lot more users, so it looks more but in theory its very stable and good!

Emsisoft Anti Malware. + Hitman Pro Alert.+ Zemana on demand scaner

 

[Plebman123]

Avast has lot more users, so it looks more but in theory its very stable and good!

True they do and it can be debated, but Avast has been known to put a ad-signature in gmail emails and on some computers Avast can slow it to a crawl
Links:I found out that AVAST was putting its own ad-signature into my outgoing emails in gmail through the browser without ever asking me about it. • r/pcmasterrace
Why I switched from Avast to Avira: better computer performance and speed [Opinion] | Reviews, news, tips, and tricks | dotTechdotTech
And i know the slow-down is an opinion but i have seen it as well, which Avast is good in someways but it has its flaws, and the ad-signature can be turned off but why have that in the first place

 

[FrFc1908]

emsisoft anti malware and voodooshield would be the best ( and lightest ) combo imho.

 

[PauloXBR]

I voted in Emsisoft + Hitman, but faced with problems both with Emsisoft in the case EIS and also with Avast.
Today I use KIS 2018 on my pc without any problems for now.
Good luck in your choice!
