[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 926759, member: 38832"] Interesting report, even if of course EEK is no malware. That's way too far fetched, but if it constant happens, it wouldn't hurt to send Emsisoft a new report about it. I just read the linked one from member [USER=74969]@plat1098[/USER] and that case is 100% solved as the culprit was adwcleaner. [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.emsisoft.com/topic/34417-windows-defender-alerts-about-trojan-at-the-end-of-eek-malware-scan/?do=findComment&comment=210560[/URL] I personal have zero issues with EEK, and other then it's updates can be somewhat slow and some parts of the UI could be improved, I'm not gonna throw it out the system. Also makes me extra happy I use another AV ( not Microsoft Defender and not Emsisoft btw :p ) as my default. [/QUOTE]
