Emsisoft Anti-Malware is fueled by a dual-engine malware scanner for twice the malware cleaning power, with no extra resource requirements. On top of that, Anti-Malware can even remove potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that overload your computer with resource-wasting bloat. Altogether, that guarantees superior detection, efficient removal, and a clean Windows operating system where you’re completely Malware-Free.



The program is designed to use as few computing resources as possible. That’s because your computer is a lot like you. Just like you, it can only perform so many tasks at once, and if it gets overloaded it will crash.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home version combined two of the best virus and malware scanning technologies in the industry at the lowest level possible to ensure optimum detection rates and maximum speed. The result is a user-friendly anti-malware that completely protects your digital life and leaves the computer’s power exactly where it belongs: with you.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware is a proactive weapon made to prevent infection from all Internet threats, protecting you from the worst-case scenario by not even allowing it to occur.

Today's threats come in various forms and are collectively known as malware, surpassing the traditional concept of viruses.

Ransomware
Unpatched software allows attackers to encrypt all your files and demand a high ransom to regain access.

Bots/Backdoors
Cybercriminals can take over your computer and use it to perform illegal activities like spamming, attacking others, or storing illegal content.

Banking Trojans
Phishing techniques and keyloggers are used to steal your valuable passwords and quickly empty your bank or PayPal accounts.

PUPs
Potentially Unwanted Programs are software that slows down your PC with unnecessary browser toolbars, excessive commercials, and other bulk.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home offers four powerful layers of protection against online threats:

Web Protection & Browser Security
If a user tries to access a malicious website, the software immediately blocks the connection, protecting against malware and credential phishing.

Real-time File Guard
This layer uses the super-fast Emsisoft dual-engine scanner with machine learning (AI)-supported malware detection to check all downloaded and modified files in real time.

Behavior Blocker
To detect and prevent new and emerging threats, the Behavior Blocker continuously monitors all active processes and raises an alert if any suspicious activity is detected.

Anti-Ransomware
Emsisoft's custom-built behavioral monitoring stops ransomware in its tracks, preventing it from encrypting any files.

- New UI customization feature to disable workspace management controls on devices
- Several minor tweaks and fixes


Emsisoft Anti-Malware 2021.9.0.11176
Windows 11 is coming soon: We’re ready:
- The next major version of Microsoft Windows is just around the corner. Our Quality Assurance Team has tested our software on the latest preview version of Windows 11 and can confirm that all current Emsisoft protection products work as expected. We will continue to test upcoming beta versions of Windows 11 until the final release.
- Just a reminder: support for old Windows versions has finally ended. As announced earlier, we no longer support legacy versions of Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Servers 2008 R2 and 2012, and no longer provide our software for 32 bit operating systems. This move reflects Microsoft’s main support timeline.

Announcement regarding email notifications:
- The ability to receive real-time notifications by email is an important feature for security administrators who look after larger numbers of devices. Before we launched the Emsisoft Management Console, notifications could only be set directly in the endpoint protection software on the desktop. Later on, we added even more powerful notification features in the Management Console, including support for webhooks/APIs.
- With this update, we would like to inform you that we’re going to phase out notifications that are set on the desktop. We believe this is the right move for multiple reasons:
- It’s getting increasingly confusing for administrators to have multiple locations for features that essentially do the same thing. Moving notifications exclusively to the Management Console simplifies and eases overall usability.
- Setting notifications desktop-side requires you to enter your SMTP account details for sending emails. We prefer to NOT have access to this information of yours for security reasons. The Management Console uses the Emsisoft mailing system to deliver notification emails safely.

How to migrate notifications:
- If you currently use the email notifications feature in Emsisoft, either via the desktop application or via protection policies in the Management Console, please disable them now
- Go to your workspace settings page at the bottom of the Management Console menu on the left, scroll down to ‘Email notifications & webhooks’ and configure them as per your requirements
