Any discussions on MT regarding Emsisoft Surf Protection built-in Malware and Phishing hosts that works at the Windows system level without additional web browser extensions vs other security software web shields that work in the browser thru extensions.
Any Emsisoft Surf Protection comparisons to for example Heimdal Pro that scans all internet traffic HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS or to VPNs with DNS filtering or comparisons to DNS revolvers like Quad9.
Or, Emsisoft built-in Malware and Phishing hosts comparisons with hosts file added thru e.g., uBlockOrigin.
Does EAM really scan and filter all the internet traffic that goes on your computer like for example Heimdal Pro.
Does Emsisoft Surf Protection rely solely on a blacklist, with no real-time (heuristic) component as PCMag suggests.
What do you think of Emsisoft Surf Protection vs other web shields.
Thanks

One critical feature that powers Norton's phishing protection is a heuristic analysis component that analyzed pages in real time for signs of fraud. It appears that Emsisoft relies solely on a blacklist, with no real-time component, and the results show it. Emsisoft came in 32 percentage points behind Norton's detection rate. It also lagged behind the built-in protection in two of the three browsers. On the plus side, this is a significant improvement since the last time I ran this test. That time Emsisoft lagged 61 percentage points behind Norton's.
