johnf Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 It seems, without notice & informations, that Emsisoft Anti-Malware as free version (without protection & auto-update) is not offered anymore in version 9 .4453. And there is a lack of information with the staff about this new politic and the changes in the interface. I'm right? (so what? everybody to Malwarebytes? Mr. Marcin will be ) My father used to say; There is only the crazy peoples who do not change mind ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwalker Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 You dont need to install Emsisoft Anti-Malware if you want just a on demand scaner, you can use Emsisoft Emergency Kit 9 for free Please take a look here: http://blog.emsisoft.com/2014/08/19/new-version-of-the-popular-free-virus-scanner-emsisoft-emergency-kit-9-available-2-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapp Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 jpvaliquette EAM switches to the free mode when the 30 day trial is over. As regards the change in interface it has been widely discussed and known about for months now since the betas (around May actually) http://support.emsisoft.com/topic/14339-emsisoft-anti-malware-and-emsisoft-internet-security-90-public-beta/ Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 The only reason why having Emsisoft Anti-Malware (as free) rather than the Emsisoft Kit is the scanner through windows explorer context menu. With the kit you have to "Start" the big machine ! Longer and fastidious just for a checkup here and there ! about staff;http://support.emsisoft.com/topic/15233-unable-to-use-free-mode/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Wosar Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 As stapp already mentioned, the free version isn't discontinued in any way. It enables automatically as soon as your trial runs out. If you already used your trial, you can install the freeware version right away. There is also always the option to run EEK instead.

Louisaz Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 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.

Thomas Ott Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Dear Louisaz, Thank you for your request. If you purchase a license for one of our programs over our website, you'll receive a license key per email. Please simply wait until the trial expired and then use your license key to activate Emsisoft Anti-Malware with it. This way you won't loose a day of your current trial license time. Please note that its better to create a new topic in our forum instead of resurrecting an older thread again. It could be nobody recognizes your post and it remains unanswered. Should you have any further questions, please just let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
