[QUOTE="Deleted member 21043, post: 373984"] Emsisoft Emergency Kit is to be used on-demand, not as a real-time product. If it uses drivers, it may not be for the same things that EAM/Another AV product may do. However, I have just checked. EEK once extracted does have drivers in the directory under the EEK path/bin. The files in that bin folder with the extension "*.sys" are the drivers. (don't worry, fresh download of EEK, all up-to-date). One driver is for 32-bit systems, another for 64-bit systems. The drivers in EEK are loaded upon starting Emsisoft Emergency Kit, and are used for the Direct Disk Access Support. Cheers. ;) [/QUOTE]
