Louisaz Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 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...

Louisaz Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's intended for scanning computers where EAM is not already present, such as when technicians want to use it to scan a computer they are working on.
