Thank you very much indeed. I'll switch it on as well. It is a bit strange why it was Off in the 1st place. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

Frankly, I am not sure about the Potential unwanted app thing. Will leave it as it is right now. OTOH I assumed(!) that EAM would take over all settings relating to security, except the firewall, leaving that one to Defender. Anyway, thanks again for getting back on this.

Thanks for the above. I have 3 Windows 10 x64 VM's. #1) clean, x64 19041.662 #2) clean, x64 19042.662 #3) 19042.662 with applications and Emsisoft. I installed Emsisoft on #1 and #2 Below find the powershell results: VM1: Name VMP Windows 10 20H2 19041.662 (19041...)

Selecting 'Dismiss' - the exclamation mark will disappear. Tried to find information in the Help file on "potentially unwanted app blocking" I suppose they should be enabled? Both on my VM and host pc they are disabled. Even after re-installing Emsisoft.

It is probably in the 20H2 version build 19042.66x There are some changes there, specifically the item "Potentially unwanted app blocking" I have Windows 10 x64 19041.662 (2004) running as VM, there was no exclamation mark in Defender in the toolbar. Screenshots 1909 build18383.1198 to 2004 build 19041.662 to 20H2 build 19042.662 Maybe because 19042.662 is an insider thing this still needs some update/development.. Thanks.

It is 64-bit.

Yesterday, after updating to Windows 10 v20H2 (19042.660) I noticed that 'App & browser control' was turned off. Tried to turn it on from within Windows settings > Emsisoft (see attachment) but turning on would not stick, i.e. it remained 'Turned off'. Later I updated to build 19042.662 rebooted a few times, but it remained turned off, also this morning. Any suggestions? Thanks.

As always, many thanks! Likely the 'crash' was just a one-off case. Never had this before. Again, thanks. Best regards.

The Windows 10 x64 (18363.1082) event log is showing the following entries (\Device\HarddiskVolume4\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe) attempted to load \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware\a2hooks64.dll that did not meet the 8 signing level requirements.

Emsisoft v2020.11. At one point the protection was 'Off', but

Thank you! It's no problem. I'll get back on this if it happens again, but, as said, I guess it is just a one-off thing. Best regards.

At boot I always get the below Windows notification " Check virus protection Windows Defender Antivirus and Emsisoft Anti-Malware are both turned off. Tap or click to see installed antivirus apps. " Normally I don't pay attention to it, as one or two minutes later both are turned on anyway. Today, however, they both remained turned off and even the Emsisoft 'Fix now' would not work. I needed to reboot my PC to get both running again. (Of course first with the above warning) Log file shows: Shutdown at 18:21 PC Boot at 06:12 Reboot at 09:44 (see below)

Thanks for the above. Probably a one-off glitch then. I logged into my account -> devices and the license showed 'Valid' for all devices listed there. The pop-up disappeared and did not show up anymore this morning.

This morning, after booting, Emsisoft showed a "Change License" panel. Apparently the software changed into a kind of non-license mode(?) Checked Event Log - probably the below error caused the issue. Event Log Error Event ID 3033 Code Integrity determined that a process (\Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe) attempted to load \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware\a2hooks64.dll that did not meet the 12 signing level requirements. How come? Nothing wrong yesterday. Thanks.

I am very sorry... confession : it was my mistake... If possible, delete this thread as it may lead to wrong conclusions. I have Chrome and Firefox. A few days back I removed Firefox and installed Opera and made that my default browser (splendid browser by the way) The add-on has been installed on all three of them. When the pop-up showed up, I simply closed it, after all, it was installed. I did not realize though there that Edge still was on the Emsisoft Browser Security 'to do'-list. I never use Edge... ahum. Again, sorry for the confusion.

Nothing to worry about but still a bit peculiar: Emsisoft Browser Security every now and then pops up asking to be installed. But it is already installed. In fact when the pop-up showed up on earlier occasions, I installed it (again), even though it was already installed. Why is this? Does it have something to do with updates, or so? As said, just a minor thing though.
