Emsisoft just launched version 7 for their flagship product, Anti-Malware. This year, the developer made some radical changes that focus on increasing the detection rate and optimizing malware cleaning.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware is still a dual-engine product, but the proprietary A2 engine no longer has Ikarus as a sidekick; at its side is now Bitdefender’s solution that should provide more reliable scans, with detection rate and a lower number of false alerts.

Malware cleaning has been improved by introducing the possibility to restore registry entries affected by threats.

Better protection against online threats is now achieved through hourly updates for malware, phishing and privacy risk hosts.

Additional enhancements touch on real-time protection, which now uses advanced caching. There are also performance settings to tinker with in order to take full advantage of the system resources, or to just allot enough to leave room for other activities.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware 7 is available for download from Softpedia. A review will be published later today is avaialble on this page.
