Basic scan methodology for detection of virtual parasites has been around for as long as there have been PCs. But just like the car industry that has been around for more than 100 years, there are always useful new inventions and extensive improvements.
Emsisoft's scan technology can, of course, get along without ABS or ESP, but there are countless invisible details and innovations that ensure the security of your data. What is most important - apart from efficient protection - is performance: more than 12 million signatures (as of November 2012) need to be handled in an efficient manner without taking their toll on your computer's performance.
Developers of security software are therefore always facing new challenges, whether it is due to new threat scenarios or the user's wish for more comfort. Not all scanners are the same - Emsisoft's scanner has been one of the best for some time. This is reason enough to explain the technology and progressive features in more detail.
