App Review EMSISOFT Anti-Malware 2019

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Emsisoft is an Australian company.
Formerly associated with IKARUS, Emsisoft changes partners in 2013 to partner with Bitdefender.
The software is always the same: antivirus protection, spyware, behavioral detection etc.
But in 2019, Emsisoft changes the game by adding a Cloud IA Machine Learning and a navigation extension (which is useless for us)
Detection is always his big advantage, his scan is very good.
His behavioral protection is also very good, but if you push a little, the antivirus is fooled.
As on our malware, the protection did not stop it. The PC restarts and gets stuck. The only way to fix it is to rewrite the boot area of the hard drive (called MBR) so that the computer restarts.
Nevertheless, Emsisoft offers a good protection that we advise. Attention, it is quite heavy!

Emisoft did not completely siccesd in blocking the malware. It blocked a lot of malwares but not all. So the computer got stuck at reboot due to malware infection.

Neither Australia nor New Zealand...New Zeland is rather far from Australia :) Emsi is still from Austria and I think it's only "PR manouver". Should we think that Kaspersky is from Switzerland? :unsure:

In 2014 Fabian Wosar moved from Austria to New Zealand. Although he doesn't live there anymore.
Company relocation: From day 1, Emsisoft always was a 100% virtual company.

That basically means we don’t have a fancy office building, everyone works from whatever place he or she wants. We’re now spread across 14 different countries and grew from a simple collaboration of just two geeks to a team of more than 25 well-organized professionals. In September this year, my family and I decided to relocate from Austria to New Zealand and that’s why Emsisoft’s company address has changed too. But rest assured that this will not affect you or our products’ quality in any way. We’re still committing to highest European privacy and security standards and spanning across almost all time zones means higher flexibility and better speed when it comes to react on new malware outbreaks or other emergency situations. There is always someone up and working at Emsisoft.
