Portable security solutions are in fashion because they do not require lengthy installation, but can be used quickly and easily thanks to their mobility. With version 2.0 of the Emergency Kit, Emsisoft offers four helpful tools as a free complete package – especially the multi-award-winning dual-engine scanner now works even faster and more efficiently.
Salzburg, June 2012 – The Austrian-based security specialist now provides private users and professionals with the Emsisoft Emergency Kit 2.0. The tool against malware infections of all kinds is completely portable, so it does not have to be installed, but can be started directly from a storage medium such as a USB stick. Even read-only media such as CD-ROMs are no problem for the Emergency Kit.
Like many other products, the security package does not specialize in specific malware types or current outbreaks, but reliably and across categories detects both established and new threats. Emsisoft provides users with one of the best scanning engines on the market for free. The above-average detection performance has been proven several times by independent tests such as the Virus Bulletin RAP test or the Malware Research Group annual ranking. Corresponding results are under http://www.anti-malware-testberichte.de/ visible.
The highlights of the Emsisoft Emergency Kit 2.0:
- Free and portable complete package against malware infections.
- Only free dual engine malware scanner, distinguished by multiple test wins.
- Over 5 million signatures with Hourly updates (manual implementation) for best timeliness and detection rate.
- Up to 450 percent faster scans Thanks to optimization on multi-core systems and a completely revised scanner unit.
- Lower resource consumption through more efficient programming.
- Improved rootkit detection due to new Direct Disk Access Scan Mode. Both the classic file-based rootkits such as TDL-3 and ZeroAccess and the increasingly common Master Book Record (MBR) infectors such as TDL-4 and Sinowal are reliably detected and removed.
- A new internal evaluation system ensures significantly fewer false alarms in practice.
The Emsisoft Emergency Kit 2.0 consists of the following components:
Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner
The malware scanner uses the proven Emsisoft anti-malware scanner and graphical user interface. With its dual scanning engine, the program detects well over five million malware
Emsisoft Commandline Scanner
This scanner offers the same functionality as the Emergency Kit scanner, but does without the graphical interface. Instead, the program can be controlled with command line parameters. Professional users thus efficiently integrate the program into self-executing batch actions.
Emsisoft HiJackFree
Experienced users use this tool to specifically detect and remove malware. It is possible to take full control of the PC system to directly access all active processes, drivers, services, autostarters and open ports.
Emsisoft BlitzBlank
Malware is not always easy to delete during operation. BlitzBlank remedies this and removes files, registry entries and drivers right at boot, even before Windows and other programs are loaded.
The Emsisoft Emergency Kit 2.0 is free for private users. For professional use, there are cheap helpdesk licenses as well as an emergency USB stick for 20, – Euro including shipping.
