Advice Request Is Emsisoft really so impressive?

Aside from the superiority of the protections, people may have different opinions about the features.
For those who like to play around with the settings, the software may seem boring. For people like me, who find complicated processes tedious, this software is reticent and convenient.

One thing i really like about Emsisoft when compared with KIS is its threat handling- it automatically quarantines the threat and does not ask for user action. KIS is also excellent but for veey few 1% threats, it does ask for user action like disninfection/resolve even after the automatic option selected in settings. Also, for very few threats, it takes 15-20 minutes to resolve the threat.

Actually with Emsisoft, it is the opposite Emsisoft is known for dishing out lots of false positives (can also personally vouch for it since I use it). More false positives = more detections = more user interventions/actions! This is one of Emsisoft's main drawbacks actually.

I have a stock analysis program running on my PC that uses unsigned modules. Emsisoft (behavioral detection) shows these modules as malware due to the missing signature.

Many online software designed by individuals as a hobby is unsigned, and many security software issues warnings. I think emisi is still easy when it comes to the steps to make it usable from there. It was the MS-Defender that I found most troublesome in this regard.

haha, i've been a reseller for EAM for years and the bb has so many fps, especially for unsigned binaries. essentially, if you have an unsigned app being started, the bb will block or freak out. it's obnoxious and will probably never be addressed. this includes innocuous things like printer software updates, game crash handlers, game launchers starting game executables, etc. things people do day in and day out.

I've been using it for over a month. No alerts of any kind. Using Malwarbytes Free and Sophos Scan and Clean as second opinion scanners.

Same here. Not issues with the product. I had one issue with a false positive and it was solved in less than a business day . Great support.

 

[Oldie1950]

After installing Emsisoft Business, I started and used all the installed programs. There were 6 or 7 FPs with unsigned program modules, which the behavior blocker objected to. Mainly these were modules from a stock market program. I have set the behavior blocker to "Alert only". I haven't had any FPs for several weeks now. If there were any problems, the support reacted quickly.

Wow, the mighty Emsisoft that I knew in the past is fallen hard currently.

I think it would be cool if Emsisoft and Malwarebytes teamed together kinda like avg and avast did both have good reputations.

It's not impressive. It's trying to fit in. Same like the basic PC Security Channel .

If you're not getting any alerts, it might also mean that some malware's not being detected.
