Yes, the option to hide trusted programs from the list needs to come
back. Please don’t go the other way and hide them by default with no
option to show them :P

And as always… be extra careful with the over-simplifications…

Dreadful. Exactly what has to be avoided. But, of course, just as expected.

hello, thank you for your feedbacks, i will transmit them.

Note that the antivirus scanner will detect malware in memory, the BB acts on the disk.

I am aware of the ‘outdatedness’ of my OS everything else seems to work fine it might be a corrupted log file. I can delete the log file and it will recreate itself Im assuming. Ive been purchasing paid versions of A2/Emsisoft off and on for quite sometime on this ’08 HP laptop with little problems I will eventually upgrade to Windows 7 on a different laptop. I like to stay with OS’s I know well so I can fix/clean/repair my own computer. Thanks for the response(s)

Those “advanced rules” will not come back. The reason for that is that over the next months we are going to roll out a new generation of our behaviour blocker technology. Unlike the existing behaviour blocker, where we have specific triggers that cause certain alerts to appear, the new system is built on a more holistic model. That means, alerts are not triggered by one action happening under a specific combination of circumstances, but by a whole bunch of actions, that stretch across multiple areas. As a result a clear mapping between trigger and alert becomes impossible.

Sort by status by clicking on that column’s name (header). Any that are listed as “trusted” or “blocked” are custom rules.

Brian is correct about Vista support. Emsisoft Anti-Malware has not supported Vista since the end of April, 2016. The version likely on your computer is so old now it wouldn’t have been getting complete signature updates since shortly after support ended, nor program updates. The reason for the logs being empty are quite possibly because of logfile corruption, so purging it might help, but unfortunately there’s nothing that we can do beyond that simple advice for Vista. Since even Microsoft dropped Viista support, I will recommend upgrading or replacing as soon as is feasible. If you need ideas on how to get that done, drop us an email at support@emsisoft.com. Ask for me if you like.

They did fix the issue same-day as I understand it. Sadly nobody is immune to mistakes. It’s how they’re handled that matters, and how adjustments after the fact are made to keep mistakes from happening again. I look at it as an opportunity for everyone to learn from. Us included!
