Emsisoft Anti-Malware

With most antiviruses, it's not difficult to determine the country of origin of your software. Webroot is, at least, completely American in origin. Bitdefender is from Romania. Kaspersky Lab is a global company, but has its origins in Russia. In contrast, Emsisoft is a global citizen. The staff who create and maintain Emsisoft AntiMalware are spread across the globe, from the United States to the wilds of Canada and New Zealand.

Emsisoft scored well in its malware protection and ransomware protection tests regardless of country, but it was not good at protecting against dangerous and deceptive websites. The management console, which provides comprehensive remote management, is now much easier to set up. Emsisoft falls short of the standard for Editor's Choice antivirus products, but it's a good choice for the right client.
