There is probably some setting you can change in Emisoft to make ot more like an anti exe but you can always get Voodosheild at some point.

Removed -
While updating EEK in a Windows 8.1 VM, it displayed a constant loop, restarting it's update processes. Windows Defender stopped amalicious process (I only remember it contained "DOS" in it's name).
Edit: I'd forgotten to share the removal of...
- Firefox 64 bit (..though synced, and still in use elsewhere, on linux lubuntu & Mrs. Cat's Windows 10)
- Emsisoft Emergency Kit on C Drive (..seemed like overkill as a portable version is also retained on a flash drive)
- Zemana Antimalware Premium (It's on my wife's system in support of Windows Defender) ..whilst my system spends more time on the couch reclining in Shadow Mode!
- Key Scrambler Personal (free version) I've deactivated it during start-ups, encrypts 'ALL' key entries, adding a further reach (imo) than HmpAlert's encryption alone. This for my greatest password concern, specifically the security for logging into LastPass itself. We've also added 2 step verification as well.
- Switched from Local to Microsoft account.

- 4. Opera browser. I liked it, but I didn't use it very much anymore which also explains why I'd not thought to write about it. Oops!

Removed - Microsoft Account,
or more accurately:
I'd actually been using a non-synced Microsoft account for quite a while, and remembered to include that one little tidbit of change on my post (above), but after reading Logethica's thread,
Are these the 10 best Anti-Hacking Software?
, I've decided to follow @hjlbx's and @exterminator20's not so little (after all) examples which insure far greater privacy!
Thank you, gentlemen.
or more accurately:
- logged Off Microsoft, to
- log back On
- ...thus Switching (back to) - Local Account

Removed - Pale Moon browser 64 bit
Installed - Zemana Antilogger Premium & Cyberfox browser 64 bit
Although it was more than a little hard for me to let go of Pale Moon (I confess, I'm a bit of a fanboy regardless of it's quirky incompatibilities with some extensions) now, I truly like the familiar speed and ease of Cyberfox; and with it's syncing with our old Firefox settings, setting up was a snap!
Ironically, a hiccup with Zemana's not allowing me to type on the address line of Pale Moon was what prompted me to replace it with Cyberfox. When the problem continued, and carried over to Explorer, turning Zemana off, then on again (twice) ultimately rectified the problem.

Hello @Rebsat. Thank you for these encouraging words "..very strong config...EIS (The Monster) Beside ZAL@Cats-4_Owners-2 Very Very strong config in the whole wolrd bro since you have EIS (The Monster) beside ZAL
". The 3rd Party Firewall is, in fact, a part of Emsisoft's Internet Security Suite; and EIS's firewall is considered by many to be a favorite of satisfied users. I am pleased, now, to count myself as one among them!

Removed - Unauthorized execution of programs & files, and thusly unnecessary worry!
It has actually been two days since I'd installed this very straightforward software. It is very stable with a nearly "set and forget" simplicity. Just opening the programs one uses is all that's required! I have heard nary a complaint from my wife which is a priceless victory!
*Presently*, & while walking back to the computer, the VS Shield was blinking. It seems a command line activity I'd had nothing to do with in turn caused VS to prompt "allow" by clicking the window (if I'd initiated). I did nothing, and the activity was blocked!
Special "Thanks" @Lucent Warrior for being our Vanguard of testing, and for encouragments both in written & in Video formats, and @frogboy for faithfully displaying the VoodooShield badge (so much like his smooth "frogboy" swimming within Windows 10) and by teaching through pure example!

I've noticed that myself, it has a 20 second countdown. If no action is taken by the user, it blocks it itself

Yes, isn't modern Voodoo great, @ElectricSheep!?
Now, suddenly I feel as though all my connections are unbroken, and in https!

@King Mellow, I am liking it a lot!LOL
How do you like VS, my friend?
I think even a partial quote of Lucent Warrior's says it best,
"unless ...downloading programs several times a day, it will mainly be quiet and just protect the system, ..it literally whitelists your system, and anything new will not run unless you allow it."
