Battle Emsisoft Anti-Malware or Norton Internet Security 2017

[skandaloes]

My EAM license expired in 1 month and now i'm looking for an alternative.
My isp offers me norton for free and now i am thinking about to renew my eam license or take the free norton license.

How do you see this, how strong is norton in comparison?

I proved HERE that you canNot understand plain English.
So, keep these characteriza

Really? Better to be a Liberal than a Narrow-minded one.
As I do Not use any Real-Time (Resident) AV,
I do Not get passionate with any particular brand.

However, I cannot claim the same for several Fanboys & Shills
as they have systematically thrown mud at various Testing organizations (AV-Comparatives, AV-Test etc.)
when they put their beloved AV on Low Ranking.

Malware-Testing Hobbyists,
who lack any Professional Accreditation,
but they have easily criticized AMTSO members
without offering any Evidence against the AMTSO members' Testing patterns.

Complete Madness...

yea we feel very bad about someone not respecting our free work.
i guess i don't understand English when half of your sentences make no sense.

This thread has degenerated that much for the first time I am unwatching a thread here at MT.

This thread...
If you like Norton, use Norton. If you like Emsisoft, use Emsisoft. No one's forcing you to endorse and/or use any product you don't like.

This makes sense for your "reasoning" & for your "understanding":

Spoiler: .

Let this Fanboy Contact Symantec

For several times, I have already stated that
*I do Not use ANY Resident Anti-Malware*,
but I do Not expect you to understand it.

Running on a already clean computer Norton at max settings can provide you better protection than even the EXCELLENT Emsisoft.

Overall: No wrong choice hear!!!!!!

 

[low L!fe]

Norton is more trusted

Emsisoft failed the VB100 results (June 2017)

Virus Bulletin :: Comparative Results

Just for the record...

Hmmm.... I didn't believe if Emsisoft fail on this test, I'm also surprised that Panda that even worse than Emsisoft can pass the test

Why Emsisoft failed and Bitdefender not...? hmmm...

 

[Deletedmessiah]

The negativity in this thread is still continuing? Stop these kind of behavior.

 

[Fritz]

Wow, that's tough stuff @mekelek.

Emsisoft has failed several times on vBulletin now, way behind Bitdefender, which it is using in addition to a great BB. Does not compute.

Heck, I see solutions in the Malware Hub getting whacked all the time while EAM shines and yet these results are basically a declaration of bancruptcy.

Now we all know that tests vary, grain of salt and all, but a VB100 cert is considered a given with the leading solutions in my book. I'm puzzled really.

Going to copy-paste my comment from Wilders

Reading the pdf, it states

For the second ('Proactive') part of the RAP test, we freeze the product with their latest updates installed and then disable Internet access. After 10 days, we test the products using malware samples seen in the wild one to ten days after the product was frozen, thus after they had last received updates.

So, it seems Emsisoft didn't have access to its Anti-Malware Network. Btw, let's not forget that Auto-resolve mode for the behavior blocker was released for the stable version on August 1, 2017


Each person here can decide for themselves if Emsisoft failed or not. But based on this, I wouldn't think so.

the fact that panda passed this test with 100.0, 100.0 makes this test totally invalid in my eyes.

O.K. It was not an Emsisoft's Failure.

-It is the Virus Bulletin Test to blame on it.
-Just like the AV-Comparatives Tests.

norton and emsisoft are both good. if you want the extra bells and rings go with norton if you want just good av and bb go with emsisoft

New poster here, any reason why you couldn't run both Norton and Emsisoft on a system?
I've been running both on my system for a while without problems (exclusions set up for both products to exclude the other).
My thoughts were that Norton would be my primary A/V and Emsisoft would be my second opinion anti-malware.

That's not recommended. Even if it looks like it's not conflicting you have no way of telling if one software is not interfering on the other's detection until it's too late. The ideal is to choose one to have as a real time protection and use the other as on demand only.

I agree wholeheartedly. This also applies accurately to personal/committed relationships as well as tasks performed safely rather than giving into such temptations as text messaging while one is driving. Don't do it!

Thanks, decided to disable Emsisoft because it was using more memory than NIS (at least according to my taskmanager)...
