Pros
To be avoided in any manner
Cons
I have just installed this program which blocked instantly all Windows processes.
I have been compelled to run Windows by loading only the basic files and to run Revo Uninstaller in order to clean my pc.

Pros
Emsisoft was formerly a great anti-virus software.
(Free license offered in Summary section.)
Cons
1. Emsisoft Anti-Malware and its Online Armor firewall totally failed to protect my PC. The virus even fatally corrupted and destroyed Emsisoft. But my back-up anti-virus program (for FREE) stopped & removed the virus before it wrecked my Windows 7 PC.
2. Windows XP is NOT protected by Emsisoft. See Emsisoft's blog article about abandoning its XP customers at: http://blog.emsisoft.com/2015/12/02/why-we-believe-its-not-ethical-to-sell-antivirus-software-for-windows-xp-any-longer/
3. TYPICALLY, Emsisoft Tech Support amounts to them saying that the real problem is 'user error' by their customer! See MANY other BAD reviews about Emsisoft support at: http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.emsisoft.com
Summary
This is my 5th year of using Emsisoft Internet Security. Today--on Christmas, a virus utterly destroyed Emsisoft, KILLING both Emsisoft Anti-Malware and its Online Armor firewall. Emsisoft was not just crippled but fatally corrupted by the virus. FORTUNATELY, my PC was barely saved by a FREE online scanner called HerdProtect...which quickly quarantined the virus and saved my Windows from being permanently damaged. HOW SAD THAT A FREE SOFTWARE PERFORMED BETTER THAN EMSISOFT. THEN I had to use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall Emsisoft's CORPSE, because the DEAD Emsisoft was unable to uninstall itself.
If anybody wants to use the remainder of my PAID Emsisoft license, which expires in 203 days, here is the license number: BEX-BAK-BEN-682 BUT BE WARNED...USE EMSISOFT AT YOUR OWN RISK...least you spend Christmas repairing your PC after Emsisoft FAILS to PROTECT your PC!

Pros
Ovaj program koristim jos od pocetka, kad se tek poceo razvijati, uvijek je bio jednostavno drugaciji. Nalazio je nezeljene programe koji drugi programi nisu i jednostavno mogu se oslonit na njega.
Ova nova verzija, donosi jos brze skeniranje, velike izmjene u sucelju u odnosu na predhodne, ali program je i dalje vrhunski cak i u besplatnoj verziji. Ja ga osobno preporucam.
Cons
Pa ako imate slabije racunalo, vjerojatno ce vam skeniranje trajat jako dugo, ali to nije do programa.

Pros
non invasive, easy on system resources. easy to use and configure. even on an old dual processor system that has run for 8+ years!
Cons
deep scan scan time runs 5 to 6 hours on this old dinosaur. otherwise there are no cons.
Summary
totally sold on emsisoft anti-malware and have used it since before they changed the name to anti malware from emsisoft anti-virus. it simply works very well. have used most of the other av programs available and it has used far less resources than any of the others. avg, trend micro and norton especially. none of them work as well. emsisoft anti-malware used with spybot sd is the reason i have had 8+ years of use on this machine. can't thank you folks enough. new machine is sitting behind me, built, ready to boot up. it too will use emsisoft anti-malware.

Pros
- It uses two engines: Emsisoft and BitDefender;
- Excellent behavior component;
- It updates automatically every one hour;
- Very easy access to all its functions;
- It is easy to configure Emsisoft Anti-Malware;
- Excellent technical support;
- Very light on system resources;
- Fast update and scanning process.
Cons
- It would be perfect with a firewall as a part of an Internet Security software with all included.
Summary
It is one of the best security solutions nowadays. It is a two engine antivirus, but in terms of protection Emsisoft Anti-Malware can be even better than some very known internet security solutions on the market. I do recommend Emsisoft Anti-Malware to everyone who is searching from protection combined with very low system resources usage.

Pros
This software have a god detection rate using dual scanner concept similar as G-Data, the grapich interface is clean and beatiful, lots of option to configure the software.
Cons
The manual scanner on demand, are slow, it's not the worst, the trouble for this software is usability, the user must answer lots of security HIPS related questions, confirm or block a process as example, after a while this are very uncomfortable to have a lots of stop to answer the security software.
Summary
its a clean interface and the software's icon looks like an symbol from the 1930. But warning lots of annoying question beacuse it use HIPS and that have no brain for do any decision without the users brainpower. The company must resolve this endlessness HIPS related questions to win my heart for this software.
