    Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.0 Public Beta test started: 450% faster scanning!

    Emsisoft have released a beta version of their flagship product, Emsisoft Anti-Malware v6.

    What is new?

    New multi-core optimized scan engine
    The biggest change in Emsisoft Anti-Malware is a completely new and multi-core optimized scanning engine. As a result Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.0 is on average 450% faster than Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.1 when it comes to on-demand scans!

    Direct disk access scan mode
    The new scan engine features a special direct disk access mode. Using this direct disk access mode we are able to circumvent and detect all currently active file based rootkits.

    Advanced caching mechanisms
    Another feature of the new scan engine is an advanced caching mechanism. Emsisoft Anti-Malware is able to learn from the files on your system, recognizing files that are trustworthy and skipping them in future scans if they haven't changed. Due to this the performance impact of the Emsisoft Anti-Malware File Guard has been greatly reduced.

    Drastically improved boot times
    Due to several optimizations we made, we were able to drastically reduce the impact Emsisoft Anti-Malware has on the boot process.

    Internal rating system to further reduce false positives on well known files
    Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.0 uses the information it gathers from various sources including the advanced cache to recognize and prevent false positives.

    Entirely new license system
    Quite a few of our customers thought the account based licensing system was a bit inconvenient. We took this criticism as motivation to switch Emsisoft Anti-Malware (and later all other Emsisoft products) over to a completely new key based licensing scheme. As a result you no longer need a special account to use Emsisoft Anti-Malware. Another feature of the new licensing scheme is a unique referral program that allows users to obtain or extend licenses by referring our products to friends and family.

    As well as dozens of other small changes ...
    Known issues:

    The direct disk access is incompatible to striped RAIDs. This is a limitation that will exist in the release version as well due to the missing documentation of on disk RAID formats.

    The account system could be cumbersome, but it also had advantages, such as managing your licenses at a glance.

    Wish it was like Online Armor account, we can register the license but activate it later

    I think so. As the licenses are for yearly updates and not tied to a particular version
