Single test - A-Squared Anti Malware 4.5

Date:      September 16, 2009
Product:     A-Squared Anti Malware 4.5
Manufacture:   Emsi Software

A-squared Anti Malware 4.5 from EMSI Software made a very positive impression during the test series.
The recognition performance is very good and the additional behavior monitoring provides a very high level of protection. The number of user query dialogs generated by the program declines rapidly as the program is used, thus requiring less and less interaction. The user interface is clearly structured and well thought-out.
