14 DAY TRIAL // Emsisoft released a new maintenance build for its Anti-Malware security suite, incrementing the version number of the bundle to 8.1.0.40.
Despite being advertised as a minor build, the new Anti-Malware brings to the table several improvements and extends its scope to detecting system settings the user might not actually want enabled.
Also new in this revision is support for discovering browser extensions for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that are deemed malicious.
Both Google and Mozilla verify the items before making them available in their repositories, but malicious extensions can still make it to a computer via different ways, such as part of the install procedure of a different product.
The team over at Emsisoft also announced that the improved product has support for the newest developer versions of the aforementioned web browsers.
Other changes available include dropping Outlook integration and better classification of infections and of the error logging routines.
Among the fixes, the developer informs that several potential memory corruption glitches and memory leaks have been repaired.
