AV-Comparatives released its second 2016 scanner test results on 16 October, the cumulative result of tests run on various security products, including a false positives test.

In total, 19 products were reviewed in the scanner detection test. Emsisoft Anti-Malware was awarded the top rating of Advanced+.

The Advanced+ for Scanner test only happens twice per year and is a key indicator of anti-malware’s ability to detect malicious files. Emsisoft Anti-Malware is a top performer in detection rates with low false positives (files considered malicious that aren’t).

Thanks for the share Capt.
That's great news EmsiSoft has earned it, that's for sure.

@novocaine
As often as I have interacted with Mr Ott and some of the EmsiSoft team I would say there is no doubt about it.
Before I transitioned to a sig-less config, EmsiSoft was my choice for protection, and the staff are just as skilled and professional as the product ;)

@_CyberGhosT_ sometimes I just get confused about the result, when some AVs scored to miss higher amount of samples but their protection performs so well in Malware Hub with very very few samples can pass the protection. and vice versa, some good scored AVs often get infected

I have deeply appreciated their dedication and performance even since reading 'WHO IS EMSISOFT' on their website.

Here's an extract. Must read for ES fans:
We’re a Virtual Company
Since its foundation in 2003, Emsisoft has been entirely virtual. Our 30+ employees are located all over the world, but work together as if they were in the same building.

Like our software, this virtual structure is powerful and efficient. We have no fancy headquarters and we don’t enforce a dress code. Most of our employees work from home, and all of them love what they do.

Virtualization reduces our company’s impact on the environment and gives us access to talented experts from around the world. Emsisoft has a global presence, with employees across all time zones. Malware doesn’t sleep, and nor do we.

Things We Value
Emsisoft is convinced that treating our customers in an honest and respectful manner is the foundation of sustainable business.

Today, many software companies aim for quick cash, even if that means mistreating or fooling their customers. Emsisoft has never, and will never, play that game.

We create malware protection for people, plain and simple. If you are using our product and you have a question, we will be there to answer it - in the quickest, least complicated and most enjoyable way we can.
Says something. Doesn't it?
