Hello, two questions:

1. What exactly does Browser Cleanup do? Just remove cookies, or more? I do observe small activity in task manager from Zemana service when I close Firefox.

2. The task in Task Scheduler (AMHelper); is it active? Can someone explain this more--a scheduled scan? With HitmanPro, you can see a black screen at boot with Surtright at the top when it does its sched scan. Does/will Zemana do this also? Task is currently disabled.

I have a fairly powerful i7 8700k, 48 GB DDR4 RAM, 512 GB NVME SSD. Either case I'm impressed!!

I'm also impressed.

Edit: As reported by others, the amdrv driver persists in System32 after Zemana is uninstalled but could be removed without going into Safe Mode.

Hi @Mops21, yes it is intended to be like this. When we have a stable version we will abandon this old path and start using the new path. Ofc, we will help clean everything from previous versions.

It works on the mobile version but not the desktop one... that's why I've been asking if the 15 days trial will auto reset every time a new version is launched or if a beta key will be given to testers...

 

[ZAM3_PO]

So the installer will keep stable release installed but you have to access throught program files to run it

So on desktop it will install the beta version

Its fairly agressive, should be nice against unknown threats, basically waiting for people that are posting to malwarehub run the beta there

When and if we get the realtime protection enabled, should crucial test be done

@Moonhorse, yes, we give this opportunity keep stable release until 3.0 is also stable. And yes, once we are done with the realtime we will use your valuable help to test it and perfect.

@ZAM3_PO Hello, can I enter my email address to activate the product? Thank you in advance. Best regards.

Hi @Lobito Punky, product should be automatically activated as trial version. Currently you cannot activate the product with your mail address as it is already connected to our license system.

It's working well. A couple of false positives, but all were easily excluded. So far so good.

I am getting Detection : "Could not scan!" for 5 objects.

I have uninstalled the app for now.

I have uninstalled the app for now.

That is strange. I have CCleaner and the intel assistant and did not get those two flagged

I found it weird too, so I sent a feedback through the app. I looked in the C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Zemana\AntiMalware\reports and found one by the extension of ".json". How do I open it?
Edit: Notepad can open a .json file, here is the content.

problem with activation because after restart system the program is not activated .

 

[ForgottenSeer 69673]

You can, but have to manually upload them. What would be a better is for one of the actions to be to report that a file is a false positive.

Once again, at the bottom of the main screen is a support button, when you click on that is allows you to send files.

 

[Moonhorse]

This is why there should be still the report button for false flags ( and have human to look up the samples sent) instead of ''ecxlude and close''
Wich would reduce false flags in overall and in real time, is this possible?

Yet its well detailed the suspicious file found now, and experienced user can see wich is false and wich not

But if the userbase is going to be average joes, they probably get scared of falses

 

[ForgottenSeer 69673]

I didn't find it that difficult to click the send feedback link at bottom of the GUI. Every thing needed to report a FP is right there.

Ah okay thank you very much for your infos

1) Zemana alpha 3.0 is not detecting Eicar test file when doing on-demand scan... is that normal behavior? Zemana AM 2.0 does detect it.

2) Will the Alpha version of 3.0 auto-update or do we need to manually update for each new release?

3) Will we need certain beta-keys later on for this beta? I only have 3 licenses for Zemana Antilogger 2.0.

Hello @shadek

1- As smart scan targets currently running process or processes which have potential to run, it will not detect malware that is not active and sitting on your disk. It will detect running processes or process that have potential to run and harm your PC.
2- We will frequently start pushing updates starting from now. these updates will mostly be manual. However please note that we can push an auto update if we see a cruial bug in the application.
3- Unfortunatelly only previous Zemana Antimalware licences will also work for this version.

 

[Miss Onnellisuus]

boombastik: I am comparing Zemana to HitmanPro in this context, which also has no RTP.

Edit: After the quick scan is completed, there's text stating something to the effect that it is not the quick scan's job to detect malware you may have placed on your machine, or something like that. I don't know what to make of that--can I get more info as to what areas the quick scan is checking?

Hello @plat1098

This is just an indication that Smart scan only scans files that are running or may run on your PC. As smart scan targets currently running process or processes which have potential to run, it will not detect malware that is not active and sitting on your disk. It will detect running processes or process that have potential to run and harm your PC. When the Full scan is released it will be able to detect all sorts of threads

 

[Miss Onnellisuus]

I have a question.
Is there a change in the language setting specification in the beta version? Because the Japanese language file of ZAMver 2.7 is distributed informally, I would like to know if diversion is possible.

Hi @show-Zi

We have change our localization format a bit. We will inform you later when we start working on support of other languages.
