When you do a fullscan it is recommended that you turn off the RT guard of the other security apps, so you will avoid a "double-scan" of the file, that may result in a increase of RAM usage.

yes i had Turned off Eset while EAM full scan and turned off EAM while ESET full scan
And I always believe to do the same to avoid conflicts and slow scans

EAM fluctuated from 100-700mb during full scan but the scan was fast and i did not notice any slow down on my system during scan

So I guess if it uses 700mb of ram and doesnt slow down the system and scans faster than its normal i think since it utilized all the free ram to finish the scan faster
By the way ESET also used around 200-300mb of Ram during fullscan and took 15 mins more to complete the scan than EAM

That may be a reason, anyway lucky you didn't use EAM before ^^ you will die waiting the fullscan to finish

Emsisoft really improved performance and scan speed since v6

Just notice you also have ESET working together. Use either one which you feel comfortable the most. Using multiple AV doesn't make it more secure in fact can cause slowdowns and conflicts can occur even both seems to be working fine together.

This is true but not in the case with EAM , EAM is still a companion AV, and it improve the overall security via its BB and great detection rate. I did many personal tests in my real system as well in a VM machine, no issues with CIS (in my case).

700mb is quite high , a quick scan on my system use around 300mb.

He says a full scan there. The memory used varies on the type of scan and depth used or how large the files are scanned. That is the peak memory usage it doesn't means it uses all the 700+mb at one time. Mine it about the same but it uses to consume more but Emsisoft fix some of the memory leaked. Just a side note memory leaked are difficult to tell it need a special developer software to determined the caused.

I've played around with this combination (ESET + EAM) before. The last time i've try out ESET's HIPS did conflict with EAM's BB. Between the two ESET have a weaker HIPS. Test them with real malware. :biggrin:

Thanks

Finally someone who understand.

ESET used to have the fastest scan engine at one time.

Just for reference here is what i did with my combi last time.

Just add process exclusions for all NOD32 processes to the EAM whitelist. The whitelist dialog can be found under "Configuration"/"File Guard"/"Manage whitelist". Add new entries of type "Process" there. Then select the NOD32 processes one by one and make sure all 3 checkboxes are checked. That way EAM won't monitor NOD32 at all, avoiding multiple scans of the same files in the process.

If you want you can run the EAM on-access scan (File Guard) and the NOD32 on-access scan at the same time. I would encourage you to make a few changes though. Since you do have the NOD32 safety net you can tone down the scan settings in EAM a bit to minimize the impact it has on your system. Switch the File Guard to only scan files when they are executed and enable the file extension filter and remove the .DLL extension from the list. That way the EAM file guard will still scan files before they are executed but will skip the scans when files are first copied to your system or need a host process to execute. If you don't want Emsisoft Anti-Malware to perform signature scans in realtime at all just disable the File Guard.

Hi,
Do you really need Emsisoft+Eset on your computer
Is'n it slow down your computer or conflict with each other.

 

[Deleted member 178]

EAM is compatible with almost all AVs/suites

Its already done You can see my earlier post for exclusion screenshots

No I don Experience any slowdowns most of the time i even forget to turn on Game mode in both of them and that too doesn't slow down my gaming in anyway (all i can say is they are a beast that can be tamed for good results given some time and proper attention)
except for the fact that my computer starts 5-10 seconds slower With the two running together and this is normal with all antivirus

Just now received an engine update more about the engine update can be found here

i meant v5 was terrible on resources and speed.

I am Thinking Of Installing Linux On my Wife's Laptop
Any recommendations For which is the most user friendly and supports Ram between 6Gb and 8Gb
Must be Good for Internet experience and Multimedia experience
Should support "Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet" Network Adapter out of the box So that it can be connected to internet through pppoe
Must be able to Dual boot with windows 7 x64

I am having difficulties in choosing since its long since i used linux now so any suggestion would be helpful
Thanks

Why waste a new laptop to Linux (not saying Linux is bad or anything).

What's the new laptop, specs, OS, does it have a disk tray? etc.

 

[loveboy_lion]

Configuration as mine since the same laptop
Acer Aspire 5738Z
Except that she has 8Gb Ram
which i may downgrade to 6Gb to upgrade my Ram to 8Gb
She also Has Windows 7 x64

LUbuntu and Linux Mint (running Cinnamon).

Check the sites accordingly before installing it.

Keep Win7 x64, install her Shadow Defender, set it to enter Shadow Mode at every boot, set the exclusions list (folders that you don't want to rollback at Windows Shutdown; for example a "Download" folder on the non-system partition where she can store videos , music, etc..)

after that you don't need to install her any AV, since any infections on the system will be "deleted" at next boot.

And when you need to update Windows or installing a soft , just quit the shadow Mode, do the modification and reenter in it when finish.

Will Try To Get her Used to Shadow mode and i have noticed that when ever i execute shadow mode on my system the system drags such that it almost seems like it hangs and CPU usage in explorer rises to 100 % even when i am not doing anything
any guesses what may be the problem?




By the way i Tested ESET and EAM with loads of malware by downloading it
with 40 links of malware and 10 links of exploits results are as follows
ESET Blocked or quarantined 38 malware and blocked all 10 exploits successfully
ESET couldnt detect 2 malware which got downloaded
EAM blocked the 2 malware which were undetected by ESET when i executed the malware

later scanned with CCE , Hitman pro and Malwarebytes and found nothing

Conclusion :-
Both work pretty well and don't interfear with each other i have noticed that most of the time EAM does nothing except when anything is executed
all the work mostly is done by ESET

I never had this issue, which versions of SD? did you add it to exclusions of ESET & EAM (ESET seems quite sensitive) ?

That was the purpose of the setup i indicated in my guide, EAM act as a second wall if ESET is breached.

 

[loveboy_lion]

SEE Screen shots for what happens during shadow mode
And Thanks The Combo Really Works Well but i guess ESET and shadow mode dont work together
i will not use shadow mode due to this problem

Again, this proves my point that running ESET on its own is good enough. In the day to day basis unless you are searching for malware 24/7, chances of you getting infected are about 1%
