The excellent lightweight antivirus software doesn’t have messy features, but only anti-virus and anti-malware. It adapts to the trend of lightweight antivirus.
Emsisoft Anti Malware is a very professional anti-virus software with a built-in auxiliary detection system for malicious programs. It has a dual-engine scanner. The speed is nothing. Moreover, whether ransomware, robots, backdoors, or Trojan horses, can be used by the software. It can also help you clean up your browser and delete all the browser's useless things, especially annoying ads.
Emsisoft Anti-Malware has always performed very well in the detection rate and killing rate, and it also provides a free version (Emsisoft Emergency Kit). Even if it is not activated, you can use the free version directly. The most significant difference between the free version and the paid version is that some monitoring parts are missing, but the basic scanning function is still there. So if you are new to this anti-malware program, you can first try its free version, and you can use it as a free virus scanner.
Emsissoft virus detection rate is extremely high, for it uses the Bitdefender engine, it will be synchronous updated as G Data, but the update frequency is much higher than FS, because FS still have to check the BD virus database and filter out the duplicated ones, for BD has 4 engines after all.
I have used EAM for 1 year and the new version get improved in scanning speed and efficiency, the main improvement is that the reduced rate of accidental killing and false alarm, the updating speed of Virus database is speeded up to every hour. The drastic improvement of real-time monitoring performance is able to remove any trojan and virus for good. I like EAM more!
To be honest, I use this anti-virus software not for any other purpose, but I just came for its powerful defense against ransom. The ransom viruses are too scary!
I have to mention about the Emsisoft active defense: It’s very powerful and extremely sensitive, and often it requires users to make the confirmation, so if you don’t know how to use it, please carefully to use this feature.
