Battle Malwarebytes Anti-Malware vs Emsisoft Anti-Malware

[dragonmew]

which is better free or paid of either

When you are online Malwarebytes works great and Emsisoft works great inside Windows Operating System!

What do you mean by that? Emsisoft has one of the best Surf Protection. And you can add your own blocklist too.

MBAM is my fave

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but why is it required to have an AV on top of emsisoft...what exactly does emsisoft do that malware bites or an AV doesn't do?

I'm trying to work out what to get between bit defender and kaspersky internet security packages, using MBAM as a scanner every now and then, so is there any need for emsisoft? Also, I don't want heavy programs or a lot of them running, bloating my system and slowing things down, any help would be appreciated

Emsisoft is a full blown Antivirus and can detect wide variety of threat categories meanwhile MBAM focuses more on latest/recent threats so literally different in terms of detection capabilities.

Emsisoft or Kaspersky or Bitdefender(per mentioned, choose one) for realtime only and MBAM for scanner should be fine at all.

Next one wrong compare...

if you wanna compare MBAM do it wit SAS or Hitman Pro not with av.. its complete diferent product
for notice some ppl from above Emsisoft AM its stand alone AV is have behavior but not firewall its belong in Emsisoft Internet Security

Thanks, any idea on which one of the three is the lightest in terms of system use and slow down ?

Thanks

For me discussion what antimalware/AV software is better is useless, because all that software works differently and combining them usually gets you close to 100 % of protection. Also different PC configurations, OS settings and browsing habits are contributing factors why that discussion is useless, try different combinations of protective software and stick to combination that works best for you.

Performance varies on systems, Kaspersky may experience slowdown on others but it doesn't mean totally slowdowns so goes same to Bitdefender and Emsisoft; its matter of components on how can gathered enough resources.
