I really liked being able to manage the disk encryption from within. The description says you can white-label the app. > > **Cons**: We got all kinds of various issue trying to remove the tool from PCs. Their support team was no help, though they were helpful. Had to reset Windows on a bunch of PCs in order to remove this. Which was a majow headache to say the least. After reviewing, it was not nearly worth all the labor it took to remove it. Though the description says you can white-label the app, if it is possible at all, we did not find it easy to do. > > Not being able to simply uninstall the tool and having to reset computers made my experience very poor, ----- ### "Emsisoft Anti-malware - good option against malwares" — 4.0/5 > **Agna** | *29 September 2020* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Emsisoft Anti-malware is a new tool available on the market against malware. I found its detection capacity reasonable, with emphasis on the feature of detecting cases of phishing. It offers good resources for protection when accessing browsers. > > **Cons**: Its main defects were the only reasonable performance in detecting some malware that other tools were able to detect. In addition, I found the software heavy and with a confusing interface. > > Emsisoft Anti-Malware it is a good tool, it has a detection capacity and some useful resources to protect the machine and user data. However, against some malware it was not extremely effective and its interface is not friendly. I prefer other more famous options. ----- ### "Emsisoft (the best value/protection available)" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *30 January 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is very focused on malware which tends to be more of a concern these days vs viruses. > > **Cons**: It only allows you to use the service on 1 device. > > A trusted company that provides good value for the money, I rest assured that it provides the utmost protection. ----- ### "Streamlined and Easy to Manage, Large or Small" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *17 July 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My top 2 "pro's" would be the effeciency and speed which the program operates and detects/handles threats, and equally as important, the amount of ways it can be managed. Even the home products can be managed using an online console, which allows COMPLETE management of the program. Since installing this program, no malware has managed to sneak through any of my systems, including the ones used by my children who regularly get malware and virus' from online games and such. They also publish updates frequently in terms of adding and stabilizing features, most of which happen silently in the background. > > **Cons**: The only "con" I have so far is regarding their licensing. I purchased several licenses during a sale, and it was months before I activated all of them. The ones that I didn't activate without delay had their start-dates beginning the day I made the purchase, not the day I actually activated the license. That said, an email to customer support fixed that, but who knows how many times they would be willing to do that. Oh, and there seems to be a larger number of false positives when it comes to security concerns. For example, it tried to block FileZilla Client from installing AND running, along with XYPlorer and a few others. It is easy enough to fix, but one would think that mainline programs like that would be given the go-ahead by default. > > Emsisoft AntiMalware took the place of my existing Internet Security software, Kaspersky, at first because I wanted to test it out and see how it works. After having used it on a good number of systems over the last 9 months, I've found it is MUCH easier to use this program when you think about managing multiple copies. I can control my entire home AND/OR office's internet security needs from a single website on a single computer, without having to march to each workstation. You simply don't find that on anything but enterprise level programs, so to see it on a consumer product and even a small business product is amazing. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/178069/emsisoft-anti-malware?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/178069/emsisoft-anti-malware) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
