I've been so impressed with emsisoft anti-malware. I currently have a license to bitdefender family play but there were some issues with bitdefender & WSL (windows subsystem for linux) so I decided to give emsisoft a run and I was impressed. It has just the right amount of notifications for me. I don't like no notifications like bitdefender autopilot gives you but again don't like to be constantly spammed with notifications. Emsisoft is just right. Bitdefender is also very limited on the ability to tweak things. Emsisoft gain i think its just right. Not crazy tweakable like Kaspersky but not severely limited like bitdefender.
The other day Emsisoft reported a false positive with Jetbrain's Resharper Ultimate. I reported it and to my surprise, within 2 days I got a notification that emsisoft they had rescanned my quarantine after a definition update and said it was false positive and asked me if would like to restore the files. Wow that's awesome they responded to me so quickly after I reported the false positive. I have been reporting "chocolatey" to Zemana for months as a false positive but today its still being reported as malware on my scans.
The only issue with Emsisoft, at least in the US, is the price. I can get great deals on Kaspersky, Norton, or Bitdefender. Emsisoft is quite a bit pricier and I haven't seen much in terms of discount and how much I wish they had a family plan like Bitdefender does. My issue is that I run a large # of VMs and buying a license for each VM is impractical.
