Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.0

Previously a-squared Anti-Malware
[Malware] -> [Mal]icious Soft[ware] *
NEW!
Version 5.0.0.68 - 8/10/2010
  • Comprehensive PC protection against viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, worms, bots, keyloggers and rootkits.
  • 2 cleaning scanners in 1:
    Anti-Virus + Anti-Malware
  • 3 guards against new infections:
    file guard, behavior blocker and surf protection
  • Emsisoft Anti-Malware Download Emsisoft Anti-Malware Order Information
* The word 'Malware' is composed of the terms 'malicious' and 'software', thus meaning no more than 'malicious software'. The definition of Malware includes all sorts of programs which inflict damage on the PC.

Free: 2 scanners to clean infections: Anti-Malware + Anti-Virus!

  • Not just any scanners, but a combination of two world class products - the Emsisoft Anti-Malware, and the Ikarus Anti-Virus engine. Latest tests approve that both are cutting edge in Malware detection.
  • No doubling of the scan duration as would be the case with two separate scanning programs. Considerable performance improvement is possible thanks to the integration of the two engines on the lowest level.
  • No double price - two top security products for the price of one.

       

3 guards: file guard, behavior blocker and surf protection [NEW!]

  • Since version 5: The new, free configurable file guard compares all files that are downloaded or started with about 4 million patterns of known malicious software.
  • Unlike conventional protection systems Emsisoft Anti-Malware does not only check files, but it also constantly monitors the behavior of all active programs and raises an alarm as soon as something suspicious happens.
  • Typical ways of infection are disabled in advance. Websites that try to plant trojans or spyware or that offer deceptive contents are blocked by the surf protection.
  • Signature updates at least 5 times per day, in combination with the zero-day protection of the behavior analysis this guarantees the best possible protection from new infections.

       

3 ways of Malware removal to clean every infection

  • When a Malware infection is detected, the scanner puts the found objects under quarantine or deletes them finally.
  • Anti-Malware holds plenty of advanced options for experts to detect and delete Malware manually. For this purpose the integrated system analysis tool HiJackFree is included, and helps you to have all processes, services, auto-runs, open ports, browser plug-ins, LSPs and host entries under your control.
  • For tough problems our helpful Malware experts are at your disposal for free. With their step-by-step advises, any infection, no matter how resistant it is, can be purged - guaranteed.

       

The perfect security solution

Emsisoft Anti-Malware provides reliable protection from:

Viruses, worms, bots

Worm viruses are currently one of the most irritating phenomena on the Internet. Usually transmitted as dangerous email attachments, worms send copies of themselves to all reachable destinations and cause great damage. Newer network worms/bots use security holes (Exploits) to infect a PC, and can reproduce at an astonishing speed. Without your knowledge, your PC is essentially transformed into a spam-sending zombie! Emsisoft Anti-Malware eliminates worms from your PC and prevents them from doing any further damage. The behavior blocker also blocks attacks that security holes for which no patches currently exist, so-called zero-day attacks. More about Worms

Trojans, backdoors, keyloggers, rootkits

Trojans and backdoors provide strangers with access to your PC. Once a backdoor is installed, an attacker can take full control of your computer. A trojan is best described as a piece of software pretending to be something it is not - they often contain backdoors, and usually arrive as email attachments. A keylogger is a type of Malware that invisibly records all keyboard activity, whereas rootkits hide on your PC and manipulate internal system operations. Emsisoft Anti-Malware specializes in recognizing and eliminating these types of Malware. More about Trojans

Spyware, Adware, TrackingCookies

Your personal data and information is worth a great deal of money to certain advertising companies. They have no qualms about smuggling software into your system, recording information and spying on everything you do. Adverts that change the start page of your browser also belong in the spyware/adware category. Emsisoft Anti-Malware completely removes spyware from your PC. Traces of spyware in the registry and tracking cookies are also recognized. More about spyware

More security with behavior based Malware detection

Emsisoft Anti-Malware includes a guard, which recognizes and blocks all dangerous programs before they have a chance to cause any damage. The unique new Emsisoft Anti-Malware Behavior Blocker module immediately warns you when a program attempts to perform a potentially dangerous operation. It does this for every program, including those that may appear harmless at first sight!

The following types of behavior are monitored:

  • Backdoor related behavior
  • Spyware related behavior
  • HiJacker related behavior
  • Worm related behavior
  • Dialer related behavior
  • Keylogger related behavior
  • Trojan Downloader related behavior
  • Injection of code into other programs
  • Manipulation of programs (patching)
  • Invisible installations of software
  • Invisible Rootkit processes
  • Installation of services and drivers
  • Creation of Autostart entries
  • Manipulation of the Hosts file
  • Changes of the browser settings
  • Installation of debuggers on the system
  • Simulated mouse and keyboard activity
  • Direct disk sector access on harddisk
  • Changes of the system group policies [NEW!]

Full control over internal system activities

You can now decide for yourself what programs are allowed to start on your PC and what actions may be performed. Detailed application rules are now available, allowing you to individually specify the permitted behavior of every application:

  • Monitor application, but allow specific activities
    Select this option to always allow particular specific behavior of a program. In certain situations a benign program can contain a function that is very similar to a damaging function and is thus reported. If you are sure that this action is actually not dangerous then you can allow it. All other types of dangerous behavior are still reported.
  • Always block this application
    Select this option to permanently block a particular program. You can also use this feature to provide child protection by preventing other PC users from starting a particular application.
  • Exclude from protection
    Select this option to completely exclude an application from the monitoring process. Use this when you always trust an application and are sure that it does not execute any damaging actions.

Bonus feature: Application protection

You can use the application rules to protect specific programs from third-party manipulation. For example, this feature is used to prevent Mamutu from being terminated by Malware in order to disable the protection. You can also make use of this feature. You can protect your Browser and other important programs from being illegally terminated.

Extended program help

Emsisoft Anti-Malware is installed with great default settings for the majority of the users. Beyond that, it allows experts to configure the software for their personal needs. The program help contains extended information to get the most from the software.

New: Community based help with decisions

With the Anti-Malware Network feature, Emsisoft Anti-Malware makes use of the "Intelligence of the masses" and provides a recommendation based on the decisions of other users when an alert is raised: A clearly understandable graphic illustrates the percentage of users that have performed each possible action (see illustration). This allows you to quickly decide whether to allow the behavior of the alerted program (other behavior types will be alerted), exclude it from monitoring (completely trusted), block it (shut down process) or place it in quarantine (shut down process and put exe file into quarantine so it can't be started anymore).


Click for large image

You can also define a particular percentage value at which the application is automatically permitted. For example: If (e.g.) 90% of the users have classified a background updater as not damaging, then the application is automatically permitted to run. This ensures a smooth workflow without annoying popups and you no longer need to make sometimes difficult decisions about unknown processes. The transfer of your own decisions to the Anti-Malware Network is of course voluntary and can be deactivated at any time.

What our customers say:

  • Ron M. (USA):
    What can I say! Your software is suberb - Why?
    I bought XxXxxx a month ago because I thought I had some sort of virus on my PC.
    XxXxxx scanned my drives and found nothing.
    I heard about your software by checking the shareware sites and guess what, your product found and nuked the problem. Oh! two more things. XxXxxx makes your PC run like a snail dragging an anchor on a chain.
    In conclusion, when I can afford to subscribe to you I will do it very soon. I have told all my friends about you and I think they are in the same mind when it comes to the so called "big boys".
    Thanks for the opportunity to try your "Suberb" product.
  • Lee W. (USA):
    I can't tell you how pleased I am with this software. Though it has only been on my system for a day, I can honestly say it is running beautifully in resident mode on my system, and exhibits no difficulties whatsoever with my antivirus software (also running resident), or with Windows XP SP2 for that matter. There is no apparent strain on my system's performance, either generally or when surfing the web, with all available modules running in the background, and its scan was satisfyingly quick. Inasmuch as it is widely considered by knowledgable observers to be one of the premier anti-malware tools on the market today, I have every expectation that I will purchase a retail license soon after the final version ships.
  • Ed (USA):
    Hi there,
    I have been trying to eliminate the Trojans on my machine for about 3 days. I'm running Windows Me. I tried XxXxxx free scan, Xxxxx free trial, (Xxxxx wanted to charge me for removing Trojans that seems to increase every-time it scanned my computer). XXX is a joke, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx...I honestly don't know what the utility does, Xxxxxxxxxxxx...same thing.
    Your site and scan was the only one that worked with my OS or found legitimate items that posed a threat to my computer. I will survey your site again and I will purchase hopefully a suite of protection utilities that I know I can count on. - Sincerely, Ed
  • Bernd K. (Austria):
    Gratulations! The software looks *very* professional and I'm happy to see great software from Austria :)
  • Bob N. (USA):
    i dont usually write CEOs of companies, but I have to commend you on the reliability, user friendliness, and quality of your Anti-Malware 3.5.
    i consider myself a fairly savvy puter user, and over the course of 2 years, Ive downloaded and tried a myriad of antispyware programs... yours rates right up there with Xxxxxxxx's Xx-Xxxxx, and in fact its the only two antispyware programs i now run. i remain an appreciative user
  • Tony L. (Australia):
    Dear EMSI Software,
    As a user of Hijack Free, I was thinking of trying Emsisoft AntiMalware when I came upon some testing.
    With so much rogue and next to useless Antispyware in the market it was good to see that your product did very well. I thought I'd let you know as it's probably a nice change from user complaints.
    I'll download and install the trial particularly as the Malware IDS sounds very interesting.
    Thank you.
    Tony - Sydney, Australia
