[QUOTE="brambedkar59, post: 840519, member: 61084"] Here is what's good about Emsisoft (using for about 1.5 yr): 1. Stays out of my way (pretty light weight in terms of system responsiveness, app launch and boot times, not in terms of ram usage which is not a big issue tbh. Uses about ~300MB on my system idle.) 2. Provides one of the best customer support. 3. They are really strict about privacy issues. 4. Less buggy than other AVs (For my system i.e. your mileage may vary. Especially Bitdefender, it took them more than 1 year to fix the update bug.) 5. No useless features (AKA bloatware like system optimizer, privacy cleaner, etc) 6. Really straightforward beautiful UI (subjective), no digging deep in the settings to change something (although they have really dumb down the advanced settings, but it's ok for average Joe I guess) 7. Doesn't do MITM web scanning (positive for me cause I have to disable it on every other AV. You can use browser extension if you really need to do that) 8. Really good against PUPs (Ocassionally there are some FPs but they are pretty obvious so not a big deal) I haven't seen a single firewall alert from EAM since I started using it. [/QUOTE]
