App Review Emsisoft Internet Security 12 Review

[MalwareBlockerYT]

Hi all,

This is my review of Emsisoft Internet Security 12. Overall, I really like this AV & would highly recommend this software to anyone. Please watch the video to find out more:

Some things to note:

- I had less samples than normal & this will probably continue until I find a better way of extracting the ZIP files, etc...
- I now have my Blue Yeti Mic but I used Noise Removal in Audacity & this affects the sound quality.
- I should have done a reboot & scanned the system after the Prevention Test but because this video was so long I decided not to - I will do this next time.



Here is my upload schedule:

Saturday or Sunday - AV Test
Wednesday - Meeting Malware video (eg. Ransomware execution) or Security Setup (NEW series where I configure AV product's settings).

Thank you for watching & hopefully I will see you all again soon

Nice review! The audio is very good. I voted 15min. 10-15 min is fine. Anyway, I watched the whole video

Thank you very much Yeah I think the audio is better too but it does sound better when the background noise hasn't been removed - my voice sounds better slightly.

Those 3 that can't be removed are already removed(12:30). They were part of some of the removed malware. As you can see for example the first is sample 115 and that is missing.

Like the video but i would like it shorter. Would prefer a max of 15 minutes. Also i would prefer a summary at the end on how the product did.

Nice video in general.

Oh wow yeah you are correct. Opps I missed that thanks for that.

I will try to find a way of making things shorter & yes I normally do a summary but the music from that false positive at the end distracted me...No seriously it did. Thanks

I will try to keep the videos at 15 mins in length but this is quite difficult without cutting out sections of the video.

Only way is less malware. Go get 500 malware. See which work and which get detected. If the number of those you have to run manually are a lot limit it. Also no reason to show as every single setting run default and if something is needed to change show that only.
You wasted 3 min doing a product overview when you are doing malware testing.

Very good points made there. The only reason I show all the settings & do the overview is because I have been criticised in the past for not doing so.

Do you use Emisoft as your main IS?

You can't make everyone happy when doing a video mate. Remember that.

No I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 but Emsisoft is also incredibly good & would be my second choice.

Nice! Was a really nice video! You should make a video comparing Kapsersky and Emisoft

Do you use anything else along with Kapsersky? Like Anti-Malware program

Thanks & maybe I will eventually

Yes I do I use VoodooShield & Zemana Anti-Logger as real time protection & I have a few secondary scanners too.

I prefer long videos 15-20 minutes as it allows the author or creator to do a more undiminished review and fully get their thoughts and findings out from review. Often times with short videos, I find myself having lots of unanswered and question the videos authenticity and validity.
For example: video of said antivirus software, their settings, and their scan results, are good videos of what it does, but it doesn't allow for the reviewers input on it most of the time.

Cheers and thanks for the awesome videos, @MalwareBlockerYT

Thanks man I will be trying to keep my future videos around 15 minutes max if possible because otherwise many viewers will lose interest.

Also I do apologise for not giving my full opinion in the video, I will be doing this next time & in all future uploads

Emsisoft is a very good AV, i`m very lucky i bought one license at a discounted price. I think the rest of the samples not picked up by the scan is just PUP or legit software. So, the rate is much, much higher. And the scan speed is something i haven`t seen on any other AV. Gj, Emsi.
I prefer the longer videos in order to have time to observe all the details, so i voted 20+

I completely agree, in fact in my testing I am pretty sure that Emsisoft has the highest detection rate with Avast, Kaspersky & Bitdefender slightly behind it. I also agree that most of the samples left over were PUPs & 3 of those files looked to be false positives - which I didn't count in the detection rate percentage or detection ratio fraction shown on screen.

I like this guy very much, he is very supportive. Excellent job. Please test also Dr. Web AV.

I might be strange but I like reading or hearing about what the reviewer feels about the products and their opinions. You are like the spokesperson giving an honest review based off your findings and testing and mostly I feel that's what i watch such said video. Most short videos I have watched are more like commercials or ads, and just sites off what the products does. Ever watch an Microsoft Office review video, LoL? those are like commercials!

Make them longer in order to allow us to observe everything, the passionate users would like to have a more detailed image of an AV.
