Best Anti-Malware app?

[CMLew]

Desktop: literally none.
Travelling: EEK/Zemana because these two are the only portable I could find.
Biased viewed: Zemana and Emsisoft: bought several licenses with them,

You said you use MB to complement your current AV suite, in short finding a complementary AM.
Do not run Emsisoft AM besides your security suite (if you intend to) as it does not provide that compatibility anymore, for the good. It's specially not compatible with the likes of Kaspersky, Avast etc. On forums, I've noticed corruptions on quite some systems in this regards (even when EAM was installed in passive mode) and have experienced myself too.

For real-time protection (discarding Comodo, Sophos), I'd prefer EAM as a standalone suite and Zemana as a complementary AM with most AVs.
For 2nd opinion, I'd prefer Zemana, MB, HMP and EEK. MB does detect minute stuff and invisible changes that others miss, though overall detection has not been as good as Zemana.
Dr.Web CureIt is powerful. However, the amount of FPs negate the overall results for me. NPE & McAfee GetSusp are testers' favorite tools too, use for troubleshooting with caution.

Hello. Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'll try Emsisoft Emergency Kit. Have a nice day!

zemana anti-malware!

 

[Anker_by]

for sure, Zemana, but malware is also good,

Not sure about the best but I am using Emsisoft | Anti-Malware: Lightweight Malware Protection for the Home and Zemana - Best Anti-Keylogger Software and Identity Theft Protection to protect me here.

Combo

EAM + ZAM

Real-Time protection i would go with EAM any day.

Second opinion i use Hitmanpro, ZAM, Malwarebytes.

For obvious reasons , i will say use EAM as main solution and MBAM or Zemana as complements.

I think the obvious reasons now and the obvious reasons before, mostly led to the same preferences for quite some forumers here!
Though I've just begun to explore the better offerings of EAM via tests.. being a long-term Kaspersky user before.

@Parsh indeed i loved Emsisoft AM even before working for the company

Malwarebytes (of course)

Emsisoft is one of the best and i would not think there are any best products. On the other hand i believe using many-same-purpose software is not a good idea in itself. For instance i would go with Avira or soemthing else AV and either zemana or Emsisoft emergency kit .

Hello! Should I use Emsisoft AntiMalware or Emergency Kit for second-opinion scan? Normally I will use EEK but AntiMalware has two engines, is their scan performance same? I will make a review when I try too, have a nice day!

I'm not sure but I think that EEK has two engines too. In Signatures folder you can see Emsisoft's signatures and the Bitdefender's ones.

Hello. I have Bitdefender right now. Is it will corrupt? Thank you.

What will corrupt? I don't understand.
You can use EEK with Bitdefender. There shouldn't be any problems.

 

[gery79]

when you use bitdefender you can still use emsisoft emergency kit with no problems at all i guess . but i would go with zemana or hitman pro instead

Hello. Thanks for your reply. I want to say that is the signatures will corrupt.

No. EEK has it's own folder where stores signatures. Bitdefender is installed on other location so, as I said, there shouldn't be any conflicts.

EEK is just a scanner, no realtime protection etc so you can use it combined with other scanner as Malwarebytes, HitmanPro etc. all of that combined with your main security product.
