Emsisoft not detecting USB autorun virus

[Welldone]

I do not like installing extra software for USB protection.

OK,it's your PC and please keep up with your configuration.Unless you try other software,you would never know what you missed.Having said that,AppGuard is not for beginners

While I was trying EAM,every time a usb was attached,EAM prompted saying dont worry,we are protecting you from USB malwares....

I dont know maybe there is something wrong with your system,Maybe you ve disabled autorun functinality and the malwares did not attack your system so there were no blocking....
maybe the malwares on the usb were inactive....remnants of the prior infection

EAM is powerful and trustworthy....If you love other aspects of EAM,combine it with MCShield

You mean realtime protection will protect me if USB Drive infected?

Yes, if it works correctly.

Hi All,

I contacted Emsisoft support and here is what they replied.

"Thank you for contacting our support.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware/Emsisoft Internet Security offers realtime protection and it detects malware right before it would want to execute and prevent it from doing so - this way no malware can harm your computer. So an USB stick is not scanned when you plug it in, but it is not possible that malware come to your computer as Emsisoft Anti-Malware/Emsisoft Internet Security would detect the malware if it would try to write itself to your computer. If you scan an external drive of course also latent/disabled/inactive malware on it will be found.

Thank you for using our software solutions! Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Seems like as the Viruses was Inactive that's why Emsisoft did nothing with realtime protection. Though it's ok now but realtime protection should detect the Autorun.inf file atleast.

Sounds good. Realtime protection will protect us before virus can harm our machine
