Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.0 final released

Emsisoft Anti-Malware Version 5.0 incorporates major changes. The one that is most relevant to the user: The user interface has been greatly simplified. This allows PC beginners to immediately start working with the software because it is now much easier to use. The scanner has also been integrated into the main window and can now be started even faster than before. Emsisoft Anti-Malware is also very light on computer resources and now uses only about 20 MB RAM in normal guard operation.

Other new features:

* A new file guard:
To ease the load on the system, the Anti-Malware background guard previously only started when files in the system were opened or executed. The new file guard in version 5 has been written anew from scratch and now also offers the optional ability to scan files immediately after downloading and when they are copied or moved.
* Full support for Windows 7:
Anti-Malware 5 offers full support for Windows 7, including new functions specific to Windows 7.
* 100% x64 compatible:
Anti-Malware 5.0 works equally well without limitations on both 32 and 64 bit systems. This makes Anti-Malware 5 one of the first “complete” behavior-blockers for x64 systems.
* Extended behavior analysis:
A new addition is recognition of manipulation of the system security policies. The false alert filter has been further refined and the design of the alert window has been optimized.
* Improved self-protection:
The self-protection in Anti-Malware 5 has been greatly optimized. This prevents Malware programs from changing or disabling the protection program.
* Improved cleaning:
The cleaning routines in the software have been greatly improved. This means that all Malware found by the program can also be reliably deleted.
* New game mode:
Users can now suppress all popups and alarms per mouse click if they wish to remain undisturbed during a game or while working with any other type of full-screen application.
* No more need for registration when testing:
Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5 can now be tested free of charge without prior registration.
* New freeware mode:
After a license or test period has expired, Anti-Malware 5 can still be used free of charge without the guard features. You are not compelled to purchase the product in order to test and clean your PC.
* Hundreds of small improvements:
Numerous features requested by the users, such as optional shutdown of the computer after completion of a scan or a new central whitelist, have been added during Beta testing.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.0 runs under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. The full version costs US $40 for 1 year – including all signature and software updates. A 30-day test version is available free of charge.

I previously used its free version as a ondemand scanner.But its service was always running in the background and it was quite heavy.So I uninstalled it.
Is it the same with this new version?If it has changed from the previous prob then I might give it another chance.

If you have used it as a on demand.. you may have made that service manual. And to me that service costed only 5mb RAM, that is not much... A2 experts say that this service helps to remove malwares that can block the start of new service.
In my opinion A2 is no more a very good product. It does too many false positives. But still as a free product it is not bad.

Wow thats strange.I think in my case there must have been some conflict with other softwares.As clearly as I can remember it was eating almost 50 mb ram.Anyway ,I am happy with MBM and SAS portable.So I guess ,I wont need it.

Nope... these are good backup scanners and you are using KIS right. Then nothing else needed. And yep KIS may conflict with A2service...

this is the full version which is different from the free version.

Emsisoft antimalware v 5 includes real time pprotection, web guard and a behavior blocker above all.
It includes both an antivirus (Ikarus) and an antispyware (a-squared native a/s) - formerly known as a-squared antimalware.
a-squared free 4.5 is still available.
while Emsisoft antimalware installs 2 services at least (one of them is over 20.000 Kb size), a-squared free installs only one service which is about 3.700 Kb on idle here and can be used only on demand.

EMSISOFT Antimalware v 5 will prompt you to uninstall possible antivirus iinstalled, it self register as an antivirus and an antispyware in WindowsSecurity Center/Action Center and it is not a good idea to run 2 resident antivirus at once in the same computer as you know.

I hope it helps

MalwareBytes' AntiMalware and SuperAntispyware do not include an antivirus engine (like Emsisoft/A-squared): they detect and scan for spyware/adware/rogueware/rootkits above all and they have been developed to work alongside the most of antivirus

@leofelix: I think her KIS is interfering with the a2free.exe service. It is consuming 50mb of RAM all times.

You are right sujay.It was conflicting with KIS.But as I have good backup scanner already,I guess I dont need it.

Hi leofelix,thanks for clarifying.But my intention was to use it as an ondemand scanner not as a realtime protection.I am using KIS for that.But I cant use A2 as it was surely conflicting with KIS as sujay mentioned.And surely I prefer KIS more to A2.So I am not going for its realtime protection.

I'm using Anti-Malware just for scanning when i want to. That program eat my machine if i put it on realtime protection
