Searching the internet for a good option to detect malware, such as trojans for example, we "fell" on Emsisoft Anti-Malware.
We were impressed by the tests he carried out av-comparatives.org the hitherto unknown to us Emsisoft Anti-Malware occupies the first places.
We decided to investigate it further. We downloaded the application and installed it into a complete, up-to-date Windows 8.1 system.
The installation was a game, and it ended in 2 minutes although the installer was big enough (about 180 MB). After downloading all of our updates, we asked to choose the type of scan, fast, smart, complete or custom. We chose a quick scan to start,
Note: The program was installed on a computer that had already installed another anti-virus, but another Anti-Malware to compare the processes but also to see if they work together and do not fall over each other. Although we do not recommend it to you, all the apps have worked together flawlessly.
The picture below illustrates the low system requirements of Emsisoft. While scanning the computer we were testing, the CPU of the system did not exceed 30% while the memory used by the program was just 1.4MB. Just below is the anti-virus that needed at the same time 3MB and 101.7MB while it was idle.
The binomial scanner of the application appeared to be very fast and we were surprised to find out how light it was during the scan. The results showed that it is lighter than products using a core.
Η base δεδομένων που χρησιμοποιείται για τη σάρωση περιέχει 99.298 δείγματα malware. Είναι ακριβώς η ίδια που χρησιμοποιείται από την Bitdefender Total Security 2013.

Once it detects the malicious Web site, Anti-Malware immediately prevents the upload and gives us a warning. With Internet Explorer, with Chrome and with Firefox it was impossible to access them Phishing websites we chose.
Το πρόγραμμα είναι σχεδιασμένο για να είναι εύκολο στη χρήση του (η εγκατάσταση στα Ελληνικά βοηθάει πάρα πολύ στη μετέπειτα διαχείριση της εφαρμογής). Το Emsisoft Anti-Malware όπως προαναφέραμε χρησιμοποιεί τη μηχανή ανίχνευσης της Bitdefender. Πριν από την version 7.0 used Ikarus, but proceeded to replace it due to its tendency to show false positives for preletterwhich were harmless.
