Editors’ Review

Download.com staffSeptember 21, 2017

Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit's powerful tools can scan and clean malware-infected PCs without having to be installed. Free Emergency Kit is portable freeware, so it runs from USB drives and similar devices. It detects, quarantines, or removes not only viruses and malware but also adware, PUPs, and other programs that may be annoying, unwanted, and unnecessary but not a threat.

Pros

Three tools: Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner is the tool most users need, but Free Emergency Kit also has a Command-line Scanner and the BlitzBank, which deletes stubborn infections on boot up.

Smart Scan: Start with the recommended Smart Scan, which targets places malware likes to hide, and then follow with a system-scouring Full Scan. Quick and Custom Scans help keep things clean.

Tips: Optional security tooltips provide something to read during scans, but they also refresh your security knowledge.

Quarantine: The program recommends quarantining any items in the scan results you're not sure can be deleted safely. If no harm comes, delete them later.

Cons

Update delay: Our initial update took a long time, in part because the software download included a lot of translation resources some users might not need. If you're cleaning out a gunked-up PC, you may want to scan first, then update and run deeper checks.

Expedient, not permanent: Like the name implies, Free Emergency Kit is for critical jobs, not everyday system security.

Bottom Line

It's no surprise that Emsisoft Free Emergency kit belongs on any user's portable PC toolkit since that's exactly what it's designed for.

Pros
It's a good idea but it's not standing up to it's claim to do what it's suppose to do, albeit is free it still should do some of the things it proclaims to do!
Cons
This I thought was a great idea, but after downloading it and putting it on a USB Drive it seems to not work very well. It takes more than an hour to download updates 100%. But the little wheel that rotates when downloading is still in action.
Summary
I've been seeing it advertised for years and just this year I decided to try it. After installation it shouldn't need 128 MB's to update it each time. Support is lackadaisical.

Mike98December 11, 2014
Pros
No error(s) or problem(s). Is 100% portable and makes no changes to the PC while installing. To uninstall: just remove folder C:\EEK en desktop icon. No changes necessary to the settings. No crash(es) and it's free for private use. Has a anti-malware engine from Emsisoft and anti-virus engine from BitDefender with fast scanning. If you download the latest version from the Emsisoft website, then the updates come fast.
Cons
Has no shield to stop viruses and malware before they nest on the computer.
Summary
You can use this excellent program next your antivirus or alone, especially for computers with Windows 8 without update 1, while many antivirus software crash Windows 8 without update 1, when closing Windows.

Pros
First and foremost, it scans compressed files for viruses. NO OTHER SECURITY PROGRAM DOES THIS, AS A RESULT, YOU MAY HAVE A SERIOUS SECURITY THREAT TO YOUR PC.
Cons
Kind of slow, but worth the results for sure.
Summary
Excellent program, very highly recommended.

Pros
Thoroughly scans your system and identifies malicious files that other products don't find. System runs more smoothly after use.
Cons
It took a while to scan but it was worth it!
Summary
This is the best free software I ever downloaded. It may take a while but with patience, it works better than any other free anti-virus or other product I ever used.
