Emsisoft Anti-Malware is powered by a dual-engine malware scanner, which provides twice the malware cleaning power with no additional resource needs. Furthermore, Anti-Malware can eliminate potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that bloat your computer's resources. Overall, this ensures superior detection, efficient removal, and a clean Windows operating system that is fully malware-free.

The program is designed to consume as little CPU power as feasible. That's because your computer is really similar to you. It, like you, can only handle so many jobs at once before crashing. 

Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home Edition combines two of the greatest virus and malware scanning technologies in the industry at the lowest level possible, ensuring maximum detection rates and speed.
