Assigned Zemana AntiMalware 3.0 Premium Beta is here!

Rest In Peace zemana it was a good run. In my mind it’s officially dead now...

Sadly, I must agree. Since v3 the product changed and not for good. They promised a marvelous re-engineering of the product and it's literally the same, only now FP are insanely higher and even if you report them FP they are still detected; to a point I don't even recommend it as a second opinion scanner anymore.

We`ll see. I am not so pesimistic. It happened before when they returned and released version 3. Time will tell.

I have stopped fully using any and all Zemana products at all. Wouldn't even use it as a second opinion scanner.

I don't have much interest in Zemana itself. The only thing that sticks in my mind is that they took JM Safe with them.

The following are rebrands of Zemana v2 (but none of them are free), which is generally considered to be better than v3.

• iolo Malware Killer
• MalwareFox
• STOPzilla AntiMalware

They may be of interest, as v2 versions of Zemana itself, no longer work. If you run Zemana v2 it automatically updates to v3. If you cancel the download of v3, it is unable run scans. I have no idea if or when any of these rebrands will be updated to v3.

It is the same product. 2 dont work and 3 is only false positives.
These re brands are in version 2 so i doubt that they offer any protection.

Yes they are the same, that is what rebrands are. As far as I know, they will work. If they did not work, they would have been either changed to rebrands of Zemana v3, or they would have stopped selling them.

In such cases, what kind of deployment will these softwares have in the future? Simply changing to another brand can be confusing to users.

Let's not forget....
Watchdog Anti-Malware

That has been updated to v3, which is why I didn't list it.

Just a question to you, competent peoples, I received today a 50% discount offer for zemana antimalware. Does it make sense to buy it ? My security system is Kaspersky IS on one computer and Eset IS on another one ?
Thank you for your help.

Haven't used it since version 2 Wich had been pretty good at detection of some scripts but haven't used it since anyway how is it nowadays ?

 

[dinosaur07]

I am glad they didn`t abandon the development!

Although I was a fan of Zemana in the Olden Days (and Ida was very nice), this latest incarnation leaves a bit to be desired. Just a fairly easy test yielded:

1). Although an on-demand scan of a given file will detect the file, actually running that file will lead to infection This was doe using various ransomware samples)
2). Covert a vbs worm to a executable and ZAM in may case will detect them; leave them as vbs files and infection will occur. What can be seen here is that ZAM seems to be blind to malware that are not executable files. Stuff like malware occurring as Powershell, jScript, scr, etc will cause system infection.
3). Other nastier things also led to system infection, but why darken the day further?

All in all, it seems that Zemana has actually taken a step backward with 3.2.1.1 beta.

No surprise here, but rather confirmation of a pre-existing condition. Oh, those glory days of yore!

Does it make sense to buy it ?

Don't waste your money. You're setups are fine.

Thank you, I think I don't need it.
