Locate the program within the list, then click it to highlight it. On a Windows computer, go to the Control Panel and choose Programs and Features. Occasionally you may need to either temporarily or permanently remove your new software. In this example, try turning off your system firewall. Your new security suite is likely to include a firewall. As an example, Windows includes a firewall switched on as a default. Another cause of system slowdown, is a result of two software applications performing a similar task. For instance, security software can clash with a background process, such as a system maintenance tool or defragmentation software. Most system performance issues are often a result of other software clashing with your brand new software. Note that this version includes a 1-PC, 2-Year license. It compliments rather than substitutes your existing security.

In a click or two you can search for its name online, open the program's folder in Explorer, close it down, even - if you're sure it's dangerous - create a rule which will block it from ever running again.īest of all, Emsisoft Anti-Malware is designed as an extra layer of security, so you scan and protect your computer, without having to remove your existing security software. It's a Task Manager-type module which by default only displays running programs which it doesn't trust, immediately highlighting potential threats. The Behavior Blocker panel offers even more protection possibilities. The program's 'Surf Protection' feature doesn't just blindly block sites on a list you can define the type of sites it checks, the action it takes (Alert, Block and notify, Block silently), and customise the list to allow or block access to any domains you choose.

There's just as much configurability elsewhere. (Run a Quick Scan every hour between Monday-Friday, say, and a Full Scan at 1AM on the first of every month.) You can set up a scan to run daily, weekly or monthly, at regular intervals, or after your PC starts, and all of these options can be combined to do just about whatever you like. If you don't want to run scans while you're working then Anti-Malware's scheduler gives you plenty of options. A web monitor blocks attempts to reach malicious websites the real-time file guard checks the files you access for threats and even if that fails, the Behavior Blocker watches programs for suspect actions, detecting and blocking even brand new, previously undiscovered threats.

The program offers multiple layers of protection.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware is a powerful tool for detecting and removing both viruses and spyware.
