leslie 0 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have a question about all these services, too. I have MSE, SuperAnti Spyware Prof, and WinPatrol. My Captain Optimizer just expired. Do I need any of these to run in addition to my Emisoft? My computer seems to have slowed down a bit. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 WinPatrol is always good to have. You really don´t need MSE and SAS. Emsisoft Anti-Malware (EAM & MSE works well together, so you can keep MSE if you want. I´ve used them together since MSE´s first betaversion was released. But if you have MSE and EAM together then you should use "mutual exclusions", which means to tell both programs to ignore each other. Your computer being slow is probably because of 3 antimalwareprograms running together. In the filesystem MSE is called Microsoft Security Client. Exclusions for MSE to enter in EAM under "Process": C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Antimalware\MsMpEng.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Antimalware\NisSrv.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\msseces.exe You can also add the Microsoft Security Client-folder(s): C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Security Client\ (if you have a 64-bit O/S) and under "process": C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Antimalware\MpCmdRun.exe (if you need to run MSE via commandline) that´s "my" exclusions for MSE.... Exclusions for EAM to enter in MSE under "Settings" Excluded files and locations: your EAM-folder (C:\Program Files\Emsisoft...) Excluded Processes: a2.guard.exe a2service.exe a2start.exe a2cmd.exe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leslie 0 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I am clueless~~is it possible for you to give me some screen shots? I am trying to find the things of which you are speaking, but really having a hard time of it. Sorry to be so dense, but I want to do this correctly. Thank you ever so much.

hackerman1 6 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 No problem. Here's how to exclude MSE in Emsisoft Anti-Malware: Open Emsisoft Anti-Malware from the icon on the desktop. Click Scan in the menu on the left. In the lower-menu click on the Scan whitelist link. In the box under Type click the little down arrow and change it from File to Process (you may need to click in the box for the arrow appear). Click in the white box below Item to make a button with three dots (...) appear, and then click the ... button. Navigate to the MSE directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\), and double-click on msseces.exe to add it. Navigate to the MSE directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Antimalware\ and double-click on MsMpEng.exe to add it Navigate to the MSE directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Antimalware\ and double-click on NisSrv.exe to add it In the box under Type click the little down arrow and change it from File to Folder Click in the white box below Item to make a button with three dots (...) appear, and then click the ... button. Navigate to the MSE directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\ and click OK Navigate to the MSE directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Security Client\ (if you have a 64-bit O/S) and click OK Then you have to do the same in MSE.... I´m currenly using another O/S without MSE installed so i can´t give you exact instructions. But you have to doubleclick on the MSE-icon Click settings Navigate to excluded processes and add the EAM-files as described in my previous post above. Navigate to excluded folders and add the EAM-folder as described Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leslie 0 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ok, I think I've gotten it correct now. Thank you! I just turned off/disabled SAS for the time being. I hate to uninstall it as I have a lifetime license. Or can you tell me how and what files to exclude? Which do you think is better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Good, i´m glad i could help you. No, I don´t use SAS.so i have no idea. I tried it a few years ago but got problems so i uninstalled it. Do a search in the forum, i think i saw something about SAS recently.... I hardly know what SAS is, and i can´t remember having seen any testresults for SAS. EAM is the best of those 3..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leslie 0 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ok, thanks so much. I hope I did the settings correctly. Otherwise my computer is going to get the heebie~jeebies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Don´t worry. EAM and MSE works fine even without mutual exclusions. Your computer may be a bit slow and the scan for each program can take longer, but you will not see any big problems. I have had both EAM & MSE together, without exclusions, for a long time. Actually i never noticed any big difference when i added exclusions.... If you create 2 screnshots, one of the exclusions in EAM and one of the exclusions in MSE and then post them here, then i can verify if you have done it correctly.

leslie 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Here are the screenshots. Thanks for checking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I can´t see which processes you have excluded in EAM, because the filenames are not visible. If you put your mouse immediately to the left of "scan" in the top row then click the left button and drag "scan" all the way to the right, then the complete filepath will be visible. Then take a new screenshot. You have probably done it right if you have followed my advice, but to verify i need a new screenshot . The 2 MSE-screenshots looks ok.

leslie 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sorry about that. Oh, should I just keep disabling SAS? Forgot to ask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 It´s ok, no problem. But to verify i needed to see what you have excluded. Those exclusions in EAM is correct. I can´t give you any advice regarding SAS as i don´t use it, so i suggest you turn off SAS, at least until someone else says different. Two other exclusions to add in both EAM & MSE under folder: C:\Program Files\WinPatrol under process WinPatrol.exe WinPatrolEx.exe btw. which firewall are you using ?

leslie 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I use Windows Firewall. Oh, WinPatrol is under the creator's name, BillP Studios. Scrren Shots Attached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ok, well i should have said C:\Program Files\WinPatrol or similar, depending on where you have installed it.... My Winpatrol-folder is on E:\Program Files\WinPatrol as i have all programs on a separate partion. Those screenshots are ok. I asked about the firewall because if you have a firewall blocking outgoing traffic then you will probably get problems with Winpatrol being unresponsive. If that´s the case you can send me a PM and i will tell you what to do. I don´t think Emsisoft like it if we discuss configuring windows firewall for a non-emsioft program..... That might be too offtopic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
