Anderson2 0 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I am in Windows 7 64 bit. I occasionally run A Squared Free for spot checks. But I noticed that even when A squared is not running, after a fresh boot, Services shows that "A squared free service" is running and is set to automatic. I can of course set it to manual or disabled, but why is it running when A S is not running? I can find no configuration option to change this behavior. How can it be changed? Thanks.

Lynx 34 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi Anderson2, welcome to the forum If you are going to use Emsisoft Anti-Malware (EAM) as on-demand only you can consider Emergency Kit (EEK) - no installation / no service running Please read reply #4 or all thread if you want My regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anderson2 0 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply. Seems odd that when you run an app and then shut it down it keeps running its service. It seems from what I read that it cannot be set up to stop the service. And I assume if I "disable" the service then it would not work at all. Right? I had not heard of EEK. Where do i get it. Is it the same as EEM but without the running service? Is there a portable EEM as was mentioned in the other thread? Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anderson2 0 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Having gone to emisoft webpage may I ask: Which is the better free product to use of intermittent scanning, the freeware mode of "Emsisoft Anti-Malware" or the free :Emsisoft Emergency Kit"?

Lynx 34 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 You can download it from the same page http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/ Yes it is portable version. you will have the same scanner capability except few features, such as: Explorer Integration (Sell Extension) - right-click scan logs section, logging configuration, permissions configuration My regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Including the fact that you do have "free mode" installed and tested already you can just get EEK; run it straight from Flash Stick and compare My regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
