Because of a serious bug in the updater system, all users who already have installed the first 5.0 Beta build are strongly advised uninstall Anti-Malware completely and reinstall 4.5 to start over again. It can’t update automatically to the next beta build. If you try so, you’ll most likely experience a system crash.

What is new?
The list of changes is quite extensive as you would expect from a new major release. So please be aware that this list may not be complete but is merely a list of highlights.

New File Guard: Enhanced real time malware scanning
a-squared Anti-Malware 5.0 offers additional real time scanning modes beyond on-execution. While on-execution scanning is extremely resource efficient and provides excellent security people may want to use on-access scanning as it is done by most other security products. While we still recommend our on-execution scan it is now possible to scan files whenever they are created or are changed on your system as well as every time they are accessed.

Support for Windows 7 and x64 architectures
All features available on x86 platforms are now available on x64 platforms as well. There is no longer any difference between those two platforms. That also includes full support of the new Windows 7.

User interface streamlining
The user interface got some major overhauls. While the design has not changed much, we cleaned a lot of areas we felt were cluttered. Just to name a few examples:

  • The scanner is no longer a separate application but is integrated into the main application window.
  • There is a central white list now to exclude processes, files and folders from real time scanning, behavior monitoring and on-demand scanning instead of 3 separate white lists.
  • The navigation menu is now hidden when using the application and is only displayed on demand.
  • The software is now Windows 7 aware. Application features are now available via jump lists and progress is reflected in the task bar button as well.
  • Quite a few other things that weren’t mentioned.

More convenience
We added a whole bunch of additional little features people asked for.

  • It is now possible to disable all protection temporarily e.g. to avoid alerts during software installations, with a simple click on the guard icon in systray.
  • You can now put the guard into game mode which essentially suppresses all warnings.
  • You can now test the application for 3 day without creating a user account to allow cleaning without internet connection. Once you create a user account, your free trial period is extended by 30 more days.
  • a-squared Anti-Malware can shut down your computer now after finishing a scan – for extensive over night scans.

More details and screenshots are available in the Emsisoft Forum.

- Improved alert windows. Alerts are now split into two groups. Red and orange alerts. Red alerts are detected high risk behaviors that are close to 100% sure real malwares. Orange alerts show actions that could be dangerous in specific context or should always be confirmed by the user such as new autoruns, new drivers and services installations, hosts file changes and some others.

- Detection for low level HDD access added. Some malwares use this technique to manipulate boot sectors or delete files.

- Improved false alert filters based on code signing certificates. Digitally signed files of trusted vendors are handled different to unsigned files.

- Improved updater system. Files are transferred as packed and crypted data to avoid proxy troubles and speed up the download.

- GUI fine tuning and lots of minor bugfixes.
