UTS cant be uninstalled even after a reformat; since it is THE superior security app; removing it for a less good app is just nonsense and isn't allowed by the AI.
I never believe that there is a app that survive even after format.
Best alternative to Emsisoft Anti-Malware

it is possible (in a devious way) , a code just need to be in the BIOS then call home to get the installer

Norton has a good detection rate not the best like but it is near the top.
If something is missed by the signatures then SONAR kicks in and you are safe.

Kaspersky & eset can give you excellent zero day protection but they need some tweaking. You can create custom HIPS rules in eset & can configure the Restriction based system in Kaspersky. Go on with them if you are an advanced user, otherwise G-Data, F-Secure or Bitdefender are other easy options as well.

In some tests I've noticed that Bitdefender beats EAM. So, I suppose that Bitdefender is better than EAM. Am I right?

Hi @minegroasprilla. Although test results can certainly form a seemingly logical basis for an equally logical conclusion,
*sigh* determining precisely how well one software product will actually perform over the other on your own unique system is best revealed through your trying them out yourself. Good advice places us in the same ball park for discovery, but numerous variables decide how everything will actually work ..or not. You shall find free trial periods (most offer 2 weeks to one month to 'test' drive them & see) are the most eye opening methods in finding out for yourself the most accurately satisfying test result of them all.Answer to the question, "Which will perform best for you?
Edit: As an example (2) very reputable names, Emsisoft & Kaspersky which are considered by many here to be excellent choices respectively, did not pass my wife's stringent & demanding requirements. Meaning:
- She does not wish to be bothered by delays.
This was on her Windows 7 SP 1 manufactured by Vaio. On the other hand, our 8.1 (Acer) system has worked well with both Avast! as well as Norton.Go figure.
Yes.
Literally.
Go + Figure = your Happier Father!

Depends on your Dad's user preference...if he does not wanna be bothered often then maybe Avast Free or Qihoo.

My alternatives would be
Paid - Kaspersky
Free - Windows Defender (Real-time), MBAM (On demand), MBAE (Browsers only), ABP or uBlock for Ad-blocking

Stay with EMSISOFT, is many alternatives, but EMSISOFT is now simply best choice. Light on system resources, easy on user, fantastic level of protection, good price.

My friend, between Zemana Free and Malwarebytes Free, What would you recommend?.

On our 8.1 system we have Zemana Antimalware (in realtime) and Malwarebytes Free (on demand).
You can safely use both of these (and even more) when all others are on demand.

Zemana, because it uses multi engines, Malwarebytes is also good versus adware. I have them both. I would recommend them both.
