Using the Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner

The Emsisoft Emergency Kit scanner features the same powerful dual-scanner technology found in our flagship software, Emsisoft Anti-Malware. Use it to scan your PC that isn’t yet protected by Emsisoft Anti-Malware, and detect and remove viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, ransomware, potentially unwanted programs, bots and other malicious programs.

There are three different scan options to choose from:

• Quick Scan – Scans only active programs and checks for Malware traces. Run a Quick Scan if you are sure that the system is clean (e.g. if you have a freshly installed operating system and want to complete setup quickly.)
• Malware Scan – Scans all places that Malware typically infects. A Malware Scan is the best choice for most users. It’s fast and thoroughly examines the whole computer for any active Malware infections.
• Custom Scan – All scanner settings can be manually set and stored for later use. This is particularly useful if you want to scan additional drives for any inactive Malware files.
