App Review Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner Review

[MalwareBlockerYT]

Hi all,

Ever wondered how Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner performs? Lets find out!



Thanks for watching, more videos are coming this weekend!

Also before anyone tells me to test EEK on a system which is fully infected - this video is coming so don't worry!

Good test. Eek is indeed a powerful program, but I still prefer Zemana.

Thanks & indeed it is - Zemana is also a great scanner

I am going to be doing video tests of several of these scanners trying to clean out an infected system so stay tuned!

EEK is long-time favorite of mine , among other on-demand scanners that I use .

It regularly digs out stuff that gets missed by MBAM , Herdprotect , Hitman and others
OK , it's just minor sludge really .... tracking cookies , PUPs etc , but it has earned it's place with me for that alone .

I know Zemana is good and I still have a license for it , but I have some irrational prejudice against it .

It must have done something to annoy me in the past

Hello Malwareblockeryt,how about a Bitdefender Total Security Review,I would realy like that
Nice Video by the way
Can you use Emsisoft Emergency Kit regardless of any AV and Malwareprograms

I have used EEK, but isn't used on my system, as I have nothing that's not already been scanned by Avast.

No emergency required here.

Great review, pretty good Emisoft

Thanks & I agree

I like all the Second Opinion Scanners & thanks for watching

Hi I have already reviewed Bitdefender Internet Security & that is effectively a cut down version of Total Security - they both have the same Detection/Prevention pretty much & they are both similar. At the moment I have about 30 videos on my list to record & exams coming up so currently I will not be able to review that product - but the Internet Security Review should offer insight. Thanks for watching!

PS: Yes you can use Emsisoft Emergency Kit to scan alongside any AV or security tool.

Same at the moment Thanks for watching

The RAM usage isn't as bad as you think, they load their signatures into memory at start-up of EEK so it's faster, since it's supposed to be used on-demand and not stick in the background like real-time protection; I think the EAM/EIS uses the page file probably.

Makes sense & it isn't actually a problem I just thought I should point it out

Thanks
Very good scanner but I prefer Hitman

Anything on Kaspersky? Does it removes besides scanning?

Thanks

Thanks, I much prefer Emsisoft Emergency Kit scanner, but HitmanPro is good too

Thanks

I haven't reviewed Kaspersky's free scanner tool & yes it removes malware after scanning - otherwise what is the point of the scanner? Thanks for watching

Very good scanner but I prefer Hitman

Me too! I believe HitmanPro has both the Bitdefender and Kaspersky engines alongside their own. I could be wrong on that, though... Emsisoft use their own signatures alongside Bitdefender.

Hitman Pro free has removal feature or just scanner alone?

Thanks

Thanks

Removal requires the paid version however the scanner is free to use I believe, I could be wrong. I don't use it myself, but I am a fan of it and recommend it (well I am a fan of SurfRight overall actually and I support them).

The cleaning in HitmanPro is very good, and they also have good on-reboot cleaning if required before Windows has even started up properly and logged on, which is efficient and effective at cleaning more powerful threats such as rootkits.

I would rather take Kaspersky Security Scan + EEK + MBAW v2.x

Thanks for your test
EEK doesn't betray the expectations, good tool that also I use to analyze the machines of my friends, often with disturbing results

No problem, thanks for watching & it is indeed a brilliant tool

I prefer EEK to HitmanPro and Zemana because it's powerful first, and it's highly portable. You just update it, copy to a USB and you're good to go. HitmanPro and Zemana need internet connection to work. With EEK, you just run it from the USB or copy it on the infected computer and run it. It is especially useful if you have problems with your internet connection or simply no internet, because of a malware infection.Thanx for the test.

Yeah,I also like the fact that EEK does n`t rely on the cloud just incase the malware knocks out the internet.

Forgot about the portability of EEK thanks for reminding me

Great video bye the way
