Emsisoft A-squared free is now a part of Emsisoft Anti-Malware
Today a strange thing happened when I clicked on Emsisoft A-squared update
I saw the below pop-up on my screen

I had no idea what it meant and went to the emsisoft website and found nothing about the news
After much googling, i found this Google
The 1st link takes us to Emsisoft Change(b)log - See what's going on at Emsisoft's software development
There I found the news which had the same screenshot that I posted above
End of a-squared Free | Emsisoft Change(b)log
End of a-squared Free
As announced earlier, the product lifecycle of a-squared Free has ended now.
All users will be asked if they want to continue with the freeware mode of Emsisoft Anti-Malware (which is feature identical with a-squared Free) or switch to the new Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit which is a software bundle that includes a portable malware scanner with the same scanning capabilities as a-squared Free.
So what does this mean? Is it no longer freeware?
Here, read this statement quoted from Emsisoft Anti-Malware - Best protection against Viruses, Trojan Horses, Spyware, Worms, Dialers, Adware, Keyloggers and Rootkits
Free version
When downloading, you'll get the full version including all protection features for 30+3 days for free. Afterwards the unpaid software switches to a limited freeware scanner mode that allows you to scan and clean your PC whenever you want, but does not include the protection features against new infections.
Here is a download link for the new Emsisoft Anti-Malware
