[gbpackerfan]

Which one is better, and what would you use?

Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6
It has better protection level but needs more user interaction.

 

[win7holic]

ESET Smart Security is more user friendly and has much less false positives but Emsisoft Anti-Malware has better protection.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware is an excellent on-demand scanner if you know how to tell the difference between real malware and false positives, but it will drive you crazy if you use it for real-time protection with its high false positive rates.

Of coarse there are better options than both.

Thanks.

 

[win7holic]

yes littlebits.
Because we have 2 option emsisoft or eset.
i vote for emsisoft.

first you cant compare Emsisoft AM vs ESET SS because ESET SS is a suite, not EAM. if you want a true comparison you must compare :

Emsisoft AM + Online Armor Premium vs ESET Smart Security

in that case the Emsisoft combo will win from far.

i used them before (at v5) and did a review here : http://malwaretips.com/Thread-Emsisoft-Anti-Malware-5-Online-Armor-Premium-5-combo

If I had the opportunity to purchase a suite (between those 2) I would choose Emsisoft, has better detection by antivirus (Ikarus) a excelent behaviour blocker..etc

but, right now i use eset and is very good too

sorry bad english

The standalone of EM is enough to be considered better though ESET is really good with heuristic.
I don't see other testing organization that mention about its heuristic capability.
Besides according to past AV-Comparatives review Ikarus is equal to Bitdefender detection but its not the same level as Avira or other multi-engine Antimalware.
Also according to AV-C it has many many fps lol.

It has alot of false positives? can you give examples plz?

From its detection rates and designed for its aggressive heuristics then its Emsisoft AM.

When comes from usability then its ESET SS.

 

[enaph]

EAM - because of high detection rate and very good BB. Also because ofthe price and great support.

ESET Smart Security is better for use.
I have used it since I have a computer and do not want to change for other security tool.

ESET Smart Security (or Nod32 AV).

Transparent security, individual 32-bit and 64-bit installers. No nonsense security components.

i would choose eset as to me emisoft has too many false positive
