Battle Malwarebytes Anti-Malware vs Emsisoft Anti-Malware

[dragonmew]

which is better free or paid of either

 

[MalwareT]

Emsisoft of course (Behaviour blocker, firewall)

Emsisoft all the way.

They're behaviour blocker is superb and top notch. The real-time works magnificently. The User Friendliness and User Interface looks awesome, and in my opinion it's better than the Malwarebytes UI.

Malwarebytes are doing a good job, and I do like Malwarebytes. I use them from time-to-time, however when it comes down to protection if I had to choose out of all the current vendors I would go for Emsisoft.

Emsisoft all the way

malwarebytes not a antivirus. you can't compare full featured antivirus(Emsisoft) with malwarebytes. however if you want to choose one of them, Emsisoft on top.

Although this is true, Malwarebytes Premium does have real time protection.Though it is not recommended to be used as a standalone product.

 

[omidomi]

Emsisoft all the way

I run both at the same time because they are different products so there is no comparison.

If I may quote @umbra 's words both products are companion AV's.

Main AVs (aka the cop)
- Norton, Avira, ESET, Avast, Bit Defender, etc...
- the first line of defense of the system ,will have to protect it efficiently against malwares.
- must be run alone without interference from other security programs to insure optimal protection; it is why some of them will check if other security softs are present in the system and will ask to remove them (often true but sometimes it is just for marketing purpose or to avoid the support team to fix potential issues)

Companion AVs (aka the reinforcement)
-Emsisoft, Webroot, MBAM, Immunet, Kingsoft, Tiranium, etc..
- Designed (most often) to be run alongside full-fledge AVs to support them if they miss some malwares (no AVs are 100% efficient against all threats , even if Panda's CEO said its product does )
- Some of them (Emsisoft, Webroot, Tiranium) are specifically designed and coded in their core to give the priority to the Main AV and will kick-in only if a malware is missed by it.
- the others are companion because the way they are implemented and their engine designed is made to not interfere with the Main AV.

So, in some way they are comparable. But in another way, Emsisoft has more protection features than Malwarebytes, and it's overall better IMO.

I agree with this 100%.I would say EAM

 

[NullPointerException]

Get both, friend. Several reasons.

1. Emsisoft is a hybrid AV. It's not exactly AV ; but it's not exactly an anti-malware purist either.
2. They do not conflict with each other.
3. If both of them use too many resources, you can always disable one of them.
4. MBAM and Emsisoft both were meant to run with an AV product.

 

[Manzai]

Emsisoft of course

 

[Raul90]

Emsisoft for me

 

[Deleted member 178]

Emsisoft for me too. but you can use both at same time so...

 

[Behold Eck]

Malwarebytes for compatability reasons.

[NullPointerException]

Emsisoft of course

Why not both? :/

 

[darko999]

The reg repair mechanics by Malwarebytes are awesome if not the greatest. You can't think of getting infected and not running a full scan with Malwarebytes.

 

[Dima007]

Can't answer your question, and if I have to...
I LIKE Both

 

[vaso rao]

Malwarebytes for me too. It will slow down PC if you use both at same time so...
