Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit

4.0 stars

"Great detection rate!"

August 6, 2012  |   By MusicScoreOst4Life

Version: Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit 2.0.0.8

Pros

Great detection rate with emergency kit scanner.

Always a lot of new updates, so always update manually before scanning.

HiJack Free is a handy tool if needed.

Cons

Very high memory usage (system hog) during scan.

Summary

I'm using this program for a very long time right now.
It's one of the best anti-malware package scannerset i know.
Two versions of the malware/kit scanner (with and without graphics interface) and HiJackFree + BlitzBlank.
I only use the malware kit scanner and sometimes Hijack.
Emsisoft has great malware detection, but sometimes i think he finds some false/positives because malwarebytes and mse etc. did not find this certain malware in the same program.
But at the other hand, emsisoft is very accurate and knows there is something going on with the file/program.
It will always keep you alert and gives that extra protection.
But the full deep scan is system heavy, go's up to 100% in processor utilization/usage. That's extreme.

It's a system hog in scan, absolutely, but malware detection rate is great.

MSE, MalwareBytes free, superantispyware free, spywareblaster, AVZ antiviral, TDSSKiller are also a must to have.
