I have about a year left on my 2-year license and mysteriously, shortly after an update, I was notified that my license had expired. I have my Cleverbridge receipt. I have contacted SUPPORT and am awaiting a reply and apology. What is going on? NOT a happy camper!!! Louis

IF I am using Emsisoft Anti-Malware do I need the EEK #11
Louisaz replied to Louisaz's topic in Emsisoft Emergency Kit
Thanks for the prompt reply. I downloaded EEK #11 and ran it. Absolutely NOTHING was found -- no PUPS, nothing. That's reassuring. Also, EEK #11 downloaded and installed without issue. The scan was VERY fast. Best, Louis -
I'm a huge fan of Emsisoft. For a "belts and suspenders" second opinion, I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (premium), which works will with EAM. It would seem that IF EAM is doing its job, the new EEK #11 would be superfluous for PCs running EAM. Does EEK #11 have detection capabilities not included in EAM? Thanks... Louis

Fabian, regarding the availability of spell checker on this forum: I'm entering this forum using Mozilla Firefox. For whatever reason, there is no spell checker in operation -- when I use this forum via Firefox or Pale Moon. Most of the other forums I visit with Firefox or Pale Moon do have a spellchecker. theese are intentionaaally mispelledd. When I highlight all of the text and right click there is a box entitled "Check Spelling" -- it is checked. The obvious misspellings are NOT identified. Any ideas? Louis

Emsisoft Anti-Malware 9, as free version
Louisaz replied to johnf's topic in Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home
OK. I'm a couple of days into my trial of EAM. I think it's really superior and I will be purchasing it -- but when should I pull the trigger. I'm being prompted to purchase EAM now. IF I purchase it now, will the remaining trial period be added to the 1-year period? If so, I'll purchase it tonight. If not, I'll wait until I'm closer to the expiration period. -
FWIW... It appears that when MSE is removed, Window's 7 Pro defaults to Windows Defender -- until some other AV program is installed and recognized. I went ahead and allowed Windows Defender to scan my PC -- as it suggested. It used a "quick scan" and found nothing in about 300,000 items it inspected. Before the Windows Defender scan, I'd scanned my PC a few times with EAM and it, too, found nothing. After the scan was completed, I went to the Options choice and turned off Scanning. The white flag warning disappeared. End of story -- I hope. When I was testing AVG, Avast!, Bitdefender, and Avira, I don't believe that the Win 7 Pro white flag warning to scan appeared. I could be mistake. Louis

After installing EAM, updating, and scanning PC on multiple occasions my Windows 7 "Action Center" (white flag in lower right-hand corner) informs me that I have one issue -- Windows Defender should be used to scan my PC. I really do NOT want to use Windows Defender to scan my PC. How can I tell my Windows OS (i.e. disable that prompt) that a scan by Windows Defender is no longer necessary? I have not seen this issue with MSE, Avast! or AVG. Louis

I just downloaded and installed EAM for the first time. I like what I'm seeing (and experiencing) very much. QUESTION: I note that EAM uses White and Black Lists, which I think is a good idea. I have not been able to locate a method to see what is on each of these lists. Please hold me by my newbie hand... Thanks, Louis
