The Anti-Malware 5.0 beta is out!

Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.0 beta

After a developmental period of more than a year we may now present you the first public beta version of Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.0. It contains more than 200 changes. Most of them are based on input from our customers - as usual.

The highlights:

  • New File Guard:
    Instead of only scanning programs while they are executed Anti-Malware can now be configured to additionally scan files during all writing and reading operations. In this way malware-downloads will be detected before they become active.
  • Complete x64 and Windows 7 support:
    As one of the very first Anti-virus products Anti-Malware 5.0 offers an entirely working behavior analysis for x64 systems - without any limitations. New Windows 7 fuctions are supported as well.
  • Simplified User Interface:
    Anti-Malware 5.0 now looks a lot more tidy without losing substantial features. The scanner is integrated into the main window to reduce starting time. Dozens of detail improvements simplify and accelerate the usage of the software.
  • New game-mode:
    With just one mouse click you may switch to the game-mode, which disables all alarm windows and other popups while you are enjoying a game in full screen mode.
  • Improved self-protection:
    Therewith it is impossible that malware manipulates or deactivates your security tool.
  • Improved cleaning:
    All found infections can be deleted safely without harming the system stability.
  • Ressources-optimization:
    Anti-Malware 5.0 needs significantly less RAM during normal guard usage. Usually about 75% less, which means between 5 and 20 MB only.

All details about the new version aswell as introductions how to participate in the beta test can be found in our forum. The final public version will be released right after all bugs have been removed and the software is running stable.
