[QUOTE="Durew, post: 791179, member: 64794"] My main AV used to be SEP as it was provided by the university. EAM was later added as a companion AV, mainly for the Behaviour Blocker. When my new laptop did not get SEP so EAM became the main AV. For a single PC it was a quite cheap choice as well. Reasons for using it: [LIST] [*]Behaviour blocker [*]Light on system resources [*]Later: good reputation [*]Privacy [*]Motivated and fast-responding helpdesk [*]No 'fake' certificate used for https webprotection ([URL='https://blog.emsisoft.com/en/26117/https-interception-what-emsisoft-customers-need-to-know/']link[/URL]) [*]No annoying bloat stuff (think norton safe search, speedup programs) [*]Works with MBAM [*]Works with Sandboxie [*]Works well with with OSArmor (source: OSarmor helpfile) [/LIST] Downsides: [LIST] [*]Does not always play well with Folding at Home (FAH is fine, EAM not that much, already reported) [LIST] [*]Rare and not always noticable. (PM if you want a bit more info on this.) [/LIST] [*]Settings spread out over two tabs ("settings" and "protection") [*]Blog not that great [/LIST] Overall I'm very pleased with Emsisoft Anti-malware. [/QUOTE]
