What it does
Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home provides malware, potentially unwanted program, phishing and ransomware-related protection features.
Emsisoft's home product distinguishes potentially unwanted programs from more overt malware. That matters on a computer where bundled installers and unwanted browser changes are part of the problem. Its current page also describes web protection and a management console. Use a household's actual maintenance needs to decide whether remote management is helpful. Review detections before changing or removing files, and distinguish a remediation scan from the continuing protection arrangement.
