When the wannacry ransomware infection, the statement from Emsisoft was that the firewall component helped blocking the port neccesary for the infection (I suppose that by default is not blocked by windows firewall) so, without the firewall the enforcement to windows firewall is about this?
Well I'm over the hill old and decrepit too, and as I get older the more simple things are the better they work. I haven't reached the point where I need to use one of those "really simple" phones with only dial buttons, each the size of a Post-It, but I'll get there someday.
A user can add Windows Firewall Control as a frontend GUI. It provides more useful features than any that I have seen with other complete firewalls.

Hi i really are happy whith this desicion because i have a long long licence of emsisoft. I always like more antimalware than EIS, for me is very expensive and the firewall very "discrect", no alerts, no nothing, for me that Firewall was a bad try. I ask emsi support to changue my licence from EIS to EAM and viceversa from EAM to EIS because the desicion is very dificult to me. Some day i think "Emsi firewall maybe are great and i dont see it" and another times i think "this does not exists and does not do nothing" Include i have a desesperation when i try to install EIS on windows 7 and i dont have the KBXXXXXX update because microsoft servers down. MS haves long time whith their FW maybe they are doing something good. I have 4 years licence i will have 6 years licence of emsi. For me great.
Maybe i dont emphatise whith they because in their feedback they say "emsi is perfect let it", if you sugets something they always say it not have point. For me are "tajantes" and less conversative, serious in MS support or in norton support people are more "charming" "calidos" but thats not really needed in a software. I think they do well everything they do. And are happy whith this desision

The Windows firewall does block access to the SMB ports from public networks like the internet, just as the EIS firewall did.
But you do trust the rest of their OS? Those are some seriously selective trust issues you have there.
You may see EAM telling you, that that other firewall wants to disable the Windows firewall, but a simple click on allow will be enough to allow your other firewall to do whatever it needs doing.
I doubt it. But I am not working in sales or marketing, so I am not 100% uptodate on planned promotions. I am sure @Emsisoft can tell you if there are.
It's not. The behaviour blocking has always used its own implementation of intercepting outgoing and incoming connections that was independent of the firewall and actually predates the firewall by many years. That is not going to change.
EEK is free. If you are asking for free real-time antivirus: There are plenty of those already. Pick whichever you like.

More like: "I do see that you guys do good work and I want to reap all the benefits of it, but I am not willing to pay you for it!" The moment you can use good karma to pay your rent, food, and bills, we will switch immediately. But that utopian society doesn't exist yet. So we have to use the thing everyone else uses, which is money.Yes, but they are not Emsisoft...

I purchased Emsisoft twice in 2014 and 2015...
And I am going to puchase it again when my salary arrives this month. I just wondered about the plans of the company, and, btw, I always buy software which I like....I asked this, because guys from Kaspersky cut down lot's of cool stuff, and released Kaspersky Free. And I just wondered if Emsi having plans about releasing free ver in the same way.
I had F-Secure until yesterday, and I won't buy it again, due to their politics. But for Emsisoft I am ready to pay double price, just to have reliable application, but now I have to wait, because I just bought Honda few weeks ago
I am sorry that we got misunderstood.

Every time I see someone saying something should be free on the Internet my first impulse is to ask that person if he would do his work for free...

Not trying to change the topic, but could you elaborate on what F-Secure politics didn't agree with you?

They removed manual decision when antivirus detects something. Got some stuff automaticaly removed, had to restore from backups...
But the question now, will the price still the same? or a higher price. Anyway Emsisoft is a great product and is worth every penny paid for it.
Emsisoft have decided to merge its two major product EIS and EAM. They will drop EIS in the coming few months. By this decision, I expect EAM's price will be a little higher. Thats it

We have no EAM price increases planned for the foreseeable future.
Great news! I will keep renewing.

Ah yes, thank you. That would irk me as well. Just had a major annoyance with Norton regarding that behavior and don't like it at all.

That's why I had to ask—F-Secure does have a thing for privacy not unlike Emsisoft and I wondered if something changed in that regard.I guess I have a different definition of "politics"
