Emsisoft rolled out today version 2.0 of their Emergency Kit bundle, a bundle of tools designed to get you out of trouble in case of malware infections. Apart from other modifications, the new release is also portable.

At the moment, Emsisoft Emergency Kit is a unique bundle because it is the only malware scanner relying on two engines that is free of charge and can be deployed from removable devices, without requiring installation.

The new version of the bundle is advertised as being more proficient at malware detection, especially rootkits, thanks to Direct Disk Access scan mode. Improvements touch on the false positives ratio as well.

Performance has not been put aside, either, as the new release boasts 450% faster scans due to optimization for multi-core systems. Moreover, its efficiency is backed up by an hourly update system that delivers fresh details about new malware.
