After testing Emsisoft Anti-Malware for a while now, I have decided to use it from now on due to the fact that it's very light, has 0 bloat in it, and has some of the best PUP Detections out there in addition to your regular anti-virus/anti-malware, etc protection. It also monitors any suspicious network behaviour and prompts you if you want to allow that action or not so no need to buy the Internet Security suite which has a firewall, not for my usage needs at least
I bought a 12 PC / 10 year license

I strongly suggest you try it, it gives you a 30 day free trial with no nags to upgrade or buy a license

Is the software really that good? Can it be run alongside NOD32 AV without issue?
-
Spartan@HIDevolution Company Representative
and no you cannot run it alongside anything else, this is not what you're thinking, as in, it's not like MBAM to be run alongside an AV, this is a full fledged AV which extends via its multiple layers to offer behavioral detection, anti-ransomeware, HTTP scanner, and your traditional AV.
It uses its own built in engine + Bitdefender Engine and the same signatures which are present in both are eliminated to enhance performance and not scan the same file with both engines/signatures -

So you've given up on ESET then?

But overall, NOD32 is a bit lighter I feel it when installing my Adobe CS Suite, with EAM it takes a bit longer than it takes when I had NOD32 on
they're both one of the lightest so we are taking about a very small difference here which your average Joe won't noticeDr. AMK and cj_miranda23 like this. -
Phoenix, outstanding. I have these two packages, nod32 and emsisoft, that I have since I bought my new computer this year. (Though I do not run both at the same time, as @Phoenix rightly cautions!) I chose them for evaluation mainly on the recommendation of the mods at bleeping computer (no affiliation!).
Backstory: I needed to start thinking ahead about something new for myself and my extended "family" and customers that I support, who are still mostly just using MBAM permanent licenses, with no virusscan. Our requirements were something with good web browser protection, speed, accuracy, have it be one product and not two products, and have it be relatively nag-free.
Emsisoft is really a good combined product, if you looking for something you want to pay for (instead of free tools).Last edited: Jun 8, 2017Dr. AMK and Spartan@HIDevolution like this. -

Where did you find a license that covers so many PCs for so many years?
-
Spartan@HIDevolution Company Representative
I then upgraded it to 3 years
I then upgraded it to another 3 years but increase the PC count
I then added more years
Now my license is valid for 15 PCs (for all my family) up to 2030
no more AV subscriptions for me -

Hmm... interesting. I might just pick this one up over NOD32. It was my go-to AV before (M18x is using it right now), but I just opted for MBAM on my newest laptop.
Anybody know where we can get some coupon codes/discounts? -

Kudos, bro. -

OSA seems to block cmd line as well which I use most of the time and even PS/vbs as well. I Uninstalled it. I want to have a layered defense. -
It crashed with me today, I tried to rerun the program again with no success, I killed all processes related, then rerun it again it work now and I'll give it more time.

ESENT means EAM or ESET? From preliminary analysis your UWP app and Search data mostly Cortana is corrupted. Running sfc /scannow will fix it. Update UWP apps through MS Store app. Optionally, use DISM++ to clear out older Windows events, update history, WU cache, WinSxS cleanup and other things.Dr. AMK likes this. -
Brother, regarding to privacy, this is a good point, all my life I'm using one ID one name with one face, everything about me already online, and very easy to find, I have nothing to hide or to be afraid of. Most of the time asking myself, why I'm or others are using nicknames, fake identities, I believe one of the most major goal of our existence is to know each others, anyway this is not the right place to discuss, thank you for your kindness.Vasudev likes this. -
Maybe you're running out of RAM OR W10 is forcefully paging unused memory blocks to disk when you have 16GB RAM.
Did you make sure 3rd party AVs are uninstalled properly incl. their drivers using autoruns?Dr. AMK likes this. -

I think you need to disable WD after installing ESET or EAM.

You can get it free when purchasing revo uninstaller! https://www.revouninstaller.com. Should I replace eset with it? It seems that its performance score still way above compared to eset https://chart.av-comparatives.org/chart1.php

I'm on my first day of trial with the software. It's going well so far. Is there a way to deactivate the Security News?

Spartan@HIDevolution Company Representative
@Umbra Many people including me if that news was disabled by default or at least to give an option during installation to have it enabled or disabled. I hate popups. I don't want any popups from my AV other than to tell me when I have a detection/infection.
