Forget viruses – Today’s threats come in new shapes and are called Malware

That’s why we think “Anti-Malware” is the more appropriate term, even if it’s the same as what’s commonly known as “Anti-Virus”.

Ransomware

Attackers enter your PC through unpatched software and encrypt all your files. Can you afford to pay a $1,000 ransom to get your data back?

Bots/Backdoors

They turn your PC into a remote controlled zombie. Your computing power is collectively sold on the black market to send spams, attack others or store illegal content.

Banking Trojans

Hackers use phishing techniques and keyloggers to get your most valuable passwords and empty your bank- or PayPal-accounts invisibly within seconds.

PUPs

Potentially Unwanted Programs that mess up your computer with useless browser toolbars, tons of commercials and other bulk that slows down the PC.

Emsisoft simplifies your security

‘It’s not the name recognition that counts, but the quality of the product and the service behind it – and no one does antivirus better than Emsisoft.’

Ed V., Emsisoft customer

2 in 1: Emsisoft’s high performance dual-engine scanner

How does it scan faster with two scanners than most others with just one?

Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home not only detects more because it uses the full power of two major antivirus- and anti-malware technologies, it also scans quicker because of the efficient combination of the scanners.

Any unnecessary duplicates in detection are avoided, enabling the least impact on memory and overall hardware resources.

Exploit detection

Interrupts the attack chains used by ransomware. Exploit detection and attack surface reduction in common applications such as Microsoft Office ensure that ransomware is blocked, whether the vector is email, insecure RDP or unpatched vulnerabilities.

Behavior-based detection

Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home constantly monitors for ransomware-like actions such as the manipulation of important processes and raises an alert if suspicious behavior is detected.

Ransomware-specific behavior

Automatically detects and blocks known ransomware behavior such as encrypting a large number of files, dropping a ransom note-like document or attempting to encrypt or delete backups.

Our customer reviews speak for themselves

You might ask…

Can it replace my antivirus?

Absolutely. Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home is a complete antivirus solution that provides protection against all manner of threats that are lurking on the internet.

Why is it called “Anti-Malware” and not “Antivirus”?

Our lab has determined that classic viruses only make up less than 0.5% of total threats (in 2016). Using “Antivirus” would therefore be wrong by definition. We’re perfectionists so we have elected to use the broader term “Malware” as it stands for all kinds of online threats.

What are the system requirements?

Basically any PC that is able to run Windows 10 (64 bit) and higher. Make sure you always have the latest service packs and security updates installed.
