The basic idea behind MalAware was to create build the smallest possible (1 mb) and the fastest possible malware scanner (scan <1 min) that will only provide an indication of whether a PC is infected with malware or not.

1. Detects active Malware
2. Scans in less than 1 minute
3. Cloud and signature based
4. Only 1 mb download

However, it should still get the full Emsi Software technology with more than 3 million known nasties. Not an easy task - but our developers have found ways and means to meet these seemingly impossible combinable requirements. By combining a strongly limited version of the signature database of known malware paths with a cloud based scan of all active processes, MalAware achieves a similar accuracy as a-squared Anti-Malware.

If it detects that your PC is infected, the second step is to download the big a-squared Anti-Malware package, to remove the malware and protect the PC against new infections.

MalAware is free for any use. Please note that MalAware performs a very fast scanning and may therefore not wholly give information on whether the PC is possibly infected in system areas outside the scanned. MalAware can not remove any infection and can not provide long term protection of your PC. With the start of a scan, you agree that anonymous information about your system status is transmitted to the Emsi Software webservers. This is the only technical possible way to do a full cloud based scan of all active processes.
