What's new in detail:
Significantly improved scanning speed
We looked hard at areas where we can take better advantage of modern hardware and where we can use limited hardware resources more efficiently, while improving the quality of detection even further. As a result, we have changed the way the dual-scan engine reads files from disk. It does not only use the full potential of fast SSD storage devices and multi-core processors, but also reads data in the most effective way for low memory usage now. On a reasonable fast PC that means: A typical scan for active infections now takes only 24 seconds where it used to take more than 13 minutes. A thorough scan of all files on a system drive now takes only six and a half minutes where it used to take half an hour before.
The "SCAN" section of the software was visually improved to make it even easier and straight forward to use. The new "Malware Scan" replaces what was previously known as "Smart Scan". The option "Detail Scan" was removed in favor for a "Custom Scan" that uses the same default settings. The new scan types are available for quick access at the overview screen too.
Overhauled Scheduled Scans panel
Version 10 now allows you to easily configure multiple scheduled scans. Scan tasks have received a vast amount of new settings to cover all thinkable conditions. For example, say you want to scan your whole computer each Friday after work at 5 PM. In case the PC has already been shut down, you want to repeat the missed scan on Monday morning. Additionally you may want to run a quick scan after each reboot, but be sure that the latest online updates are downloaded right before the scan. All of that can be flexibly configured now. Scans can be scheduled on short intra-daily intervals, on daily/weekly/monthly intervals, or right after events like PC startup or online updates. The scan type can be flexibily chosen, including custom scan settings with specific automated cleaning settings, and scans can run silently if preferred.
New Privacy settings panel
The anti-malware testing agency AV-comparatives recently confirmed that Emsisoft is quite possible the most privacy conscious security software vendor around. While most antivirus can easily track every single website you’re visiting, Emsisoft ensures that no personal data leaves your personal computer. Version 10 goes even one step further and allows you to freely configure all settings which may have any impact on your privacy. For some useful features like the online lookup of programs during alerts to avoid false alerts it is required to submit a minimum of information in order to benefit from them, but you can always turn them off if you prefer. You can also optionally turn off the SSL-based server communication to convince yourself about the transferred information, using a http traffic logger.
New Behavior Blocker panel
Think of a combination of the Windows Task Manager with the power of the Emsisoft Behavior Blocker. The new process list shows which programs can be trusted and which may require further investigation to be absolutely sure. Results of the online- and offline-reputation-analysis allow you quickly narrow down the number of questionable programs to just a few. Extended file properties help you to identify threats. Bad programs can be quarantined or killed with just one click.
Improved online updates
The new version optionally lets you know every time a software update is installed in the background. The update tile at the overview screen was simplified for improved usability.
Improved installation wizard
The initial malware scan was moved from installer to the first run of the software for better cleaning functionality.
Fine tuning
While the visual changes of the new version are somewhat limited, we focused more on getting the best out of the already awarded software. Dozens of bigger and smaller improvements have been applied under the hood. The user interface was simplified for better handling and improved at various locations for more speed.
