[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 901212, member: 83059"] Are you looking for a second opinion scanner or something to provide primary protection? I’d say Emsisoft is still every bit as good as it used to be for either role. Quite honestly, the BitDefender engine has been through some uncertain times the last year or so. For a while they were really lagging in zero-day detection, and Emsisoft would use their in-house engine to pick up the slack. However, lately, I’ve been noticing BD has once again become one of the first few engines that picks up on new Emotet/AgentTesla variants so maybe that’s getting better again. Either way, IMO it never got so bad to the point that I wouldn’t recommend BD. [/QUOTE]
