1. Program Description

a-squared Anti-Malware monitors all active programs in real time for dangerous behavior (Behavior Blocking) and can detect new unknown Trojans, Worms, Viruses and other damaging programs (Zero-Day dangers) without daily updates. The signature-based security (a-squared and Ikarus double engine) ensures a very high recognition rate of known Malware such as Trojans, Worms ans Viruses.

2. Installation

Always download the latest setup file to install Anti-Malware: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/

Start the downloaded file (a2AntiMalwareSetup.exe) and follow the instructions of the setup wizard. During installation, you can decide where the software is to be installed and whether shortcuts are to be created on the Desktop and in the Quick Launch Toolbar. After installation, start the the a-squared Anti-Malware Security Wizard as recommended.

Deinstallation

Deinstallation of a-squared Anti-Malware is done using the Uninstaller provided. You reach this via Programs/a-squared Anti-Malware/Uninstall a-squared Anti-Malware or via the Windows Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs (Windows 2000/Windows XP) or Windows Control Panel/Programs and Features (Windows Vista).

2.1 Security Wizard

The Security Wizard automatically starts the first time you run a-squared Anti-Malware. The wizard helps you to set up an optimum security configuration on your PC and guides you step-by-step through the settings.

You are first requested to register your license. To do this, enter your user information (email address as username, and password) and then confirm the information by clicking "Log in", If the login was successful then the next step will show you all licenses currently available in your user account. The trial license is always available by default. If you have several licenses, select the one you wish to use by clicking it and confirm your selection by clicking "Next".

If you do not yet have a user account you can create one at any time by clicking "Create account". Fill out the "Name" and "Email" fields and confirm your entries by clicking "Create account". You will then immediately receive your password in an email sent to the specified email address.

If you have received a coupon code for a a-squared Anti-Malware license, e.g. if you purchased a license from a third-party dealer, then you can use the "Convert coupon code" hyperlink to convert your coupon into a license code. Enter your coupon code and confirm this by clicking "OK". The license is then automatically created in your user account and you can proceed as described above.

2.1.1 Updater Settings

Select the components to be taken into account for online updates by selecting or deselecting the check box for each desired option.

• Install program help - Select this option if you need help with a-squared Anti-Malware or want to keep up to date. The help files require about 1 Mb of extra disk space.
• Install additional languages - Select this option if you wish to install and update additional language support. If this option is deselected then only the language package you are currently using will be updated.
• Install beta updates - Select this option only if you always want to use the latest, untested Beta versions of the program files. We recommend that only experienced users select this option, or when you are requested to do this for fault-finding purposes. Beta updates may still contain bugs and cause unpredictable problems.
• Submit names of detected Malware - Select this option if you want to submit the names of detected Malwares to Emsisoft for statistic purposes.
• Join the Anti-Malware Network - Select this option to send data on found objects as needed and to use the community-based alert reduction feature..
• Verify program modules versions - Select this option to check that all program components are up to date and authentic each time the program starts..

The "Edit alerts settings" hyperlink allows you to activate or deactivate alert messages for "News Boxes", "Update Messages" and "Restart Alerts". These are small information windows that appear from the corner of the Taskbar. The display duration of these windows can be set for all types of messages.

Once you have made all Updater Settings, confirm these by clicking "Next".

The Updater will now search for all updates and install them to bring a-squared Anti-Malware up to the latest version. The time required for this can vary and it may take a while, depending on the size and number of update modules and the speed of your Internet connection.

If you receive the message "Update process was finished successfully", then the Update was successful and you can continue with the Security Wizard by clicking "Clean Computer now".

2.1.2 Clean Computer

You have a choice of scan methods provided by a-squared Anti-Malware.

• Quick Scan – Scans all active programs, Spyware Traces and TrackingCookies.
• Smart Scan – Good and fast result, but only important folders will be scanned.
• Detail Scan – Slowest scan. All files on all hard disks will be scanned deeply..
• Custom Scan – Manage and edit all scanner settings manually.

The Detail Scan is put as default. Click on another scan method to chance the used method. Click on "SCAN" to run the scan.

When the scan is done the Diagnosis list shows the found objects sorted by color (red – high risk, yellow – medium risk) according to their possible riskiness. The extensions "IK" and "A2" indicate the scan engine that identified the file as malicious. IK stands for Ikarus and A2 for a-squared.

Right-click in the Diagnosis list to open a context menu that provides the following actions:

• Select All – selects all objects on the list
• Select nothing – unselects all objects on the list
• Invert – unselects all activated objects and selects all deactivated objects
• Add to whitelist – adds the file to the whitelist. The file will be excluded from recognition in the next scan.
• Submit as false alert – Automatically submits the file to our Malware Lab for checking a possible false alert.

The actions "Quarantine selected objects", "Delete selected objects", and "Save report" are available after every scan.

The most recent scan result is saved to My Files/a-squared/Logs/LastScan.txt even without saving it manually.

2.1.3 Background Guard Settings

The options "Enable background guard on system startup" and "Activate Malware-IDS" should always be activated, otherwise you have no Malware protection.

The option "Download and install updates automatically" ensures that a-squared Anti-Malware is always up to date and you will not miss any program updates. a-squared Anti-Malware searches online for new updates each day and installs them if they are available.

The option "Enable Scheduled Scans" initiates a PC scan each Friday at 12:00. In the Scheduled Scan configuration you can set the day, hour or interval, and additional settings for your automatic scan.

The option "Activate OnExecution Scan" ensures that every active file will be scanned for malicious code with signature recognition.

The option "Activate Surf protection" makes the host control announce websites that are suspect of spreading Malware or Spyware while surfing, and provides options to allow or forbid individual sites per host rule.

You confirm the background guard settings by clicking "Next".

2.1.4 Alert Settings

We now come to the most important part of the configuration, the settings for alert messages. a-squared Anti-Malware reports the behavior of programs that are sometimes clearly damaging but sometimes also only possibly damaging. With some benign programs a clear decision between benign and malicious behavior is not technically possible. a-squared Anti-Malware always reports this type of suspicious behavior unless you activate alert reduction to reduce the number of false alarms relating to benign programs.

• Activate intelligent alert reduction - a-squared Anti-Malware performs a technical analysis of the program file for a reported program to determine if this is a benign program. Good examples of false alerts are Explorer.exe (Windows Explorer), Internet Explorer or Firefox. When starting, all these programs exhibit behavior that is also used by Malware. For example, changing the browser settings or generating network traffic without a visible user interface. If intelligent alarm reduction is not activated, then warning alerts are generated each time these programs start. With activated intelligent alarm reduction, a-squared Anti-Malware recognizes that these are legitimate programs and does not generate warning alerts. The intelligent alarm reduction is deactivated by default because in rare situations it is possible that dangerous programs may also become active.
• Community-based alert reduction - a-squared Anti-Malware relies on the intelligence of the masses. An online query to the Anti-Malware Network is made and the decisions of all a-squared Anti-Malware users on what to do with a reported program (allow, block, quarantine, exclude from monitoring) are displayed as a colored graphic. a-squared Anti-Malware uses this to provide a recommendation of how to proceed with the reported program.
• You can use percentage threshold values to define whether a program is automatically blocked or permitted using community-based alert reduction. The default values are a threshold of 90% for each. If 90% of a-squared Anti-Malware users have allowed the program to start then it will be automatically allowed on your system and an application rule is created for future program starts.
• Activate paranoid mode - Reports additional suspicious program starts and applications with a suspicious or Malware-similar file layout. The option is deactivated by default and is only recommended for advanced users.

You can use the "Edit application rules" hyperlink to define rules for programs in advance. Advance configuration should only be done by advanced users. Warning! Never set important system components to "Block" or you could very rapidly ruin your operating system.

The Security Wizard has now finished the basic configuration. You can close the setup with "Close setup wizard". Then a-squared Anti-Malware is started and shows the default start screen "Security Status". The orange and grey a-squared symbol appears in the corner of the Taskbar.

3. Security Status

The a-squared Anti-Malware start screen, called "Security Status", shows an overview of all program and configuration elements. The security status window is divided into 4 sections. The first part is the menu at the left, containing "Scan PC", "Quarantine", "Logs", "Background Guard", "Configuration" an "HiJackFree", and it provides easy access to all relevant program elements and configuration dialogs.

The second part is the horizontal menu bar at the top, which is divided into "Language" for the languages supported, the Quick Access menu item providing fast access to "Online Update", as well as a "Help" hyperlink and a drop-down menu, providing access to the a-squared Homepage, the Support Center, the Discussion Forum, Security Articles, an the dialogue for submitting a suspect file.

The third part is a-squared Online and a-squared News at the right side, which provides fast access via web links to the Anti-Malware Homepage Homepage and displays the latest news from Emsi Software.

The fourth part in the center shows a status overview of the background guard and update settings, the current software version, the date of the last update, the software version and license period, and the number of Malware signatures.

4. Scan PC

The scan methods have been illustrated in 2.1.2 "Clean Computer". The scan method Custom Scan will be explained in particular now. The "Custom Scan" method allows to configurate the scanning behavior individually.

Select the folders to be cleaned by "Add folder" and "Remove folder"

If you want to scan only the files within a certain folder, it is advisable to deactivate the options "Scan memory for active Malware", "Scan for Spyware Traces", and "Scan for Tracking Cookies". Click "Next" to start the Custom Scan. Depending on the setting the folders are scanned applying the chosen parameters. If you wish to repeat a Custom Scan in the future, you can save the configuration to a Scan Settings File with "Save settings" and load it anytime with "Load settings".

When the scan is done the Diagnosis list shows the found objects sorted by color (red – high risk, yellow – medium risk) according to their possible riskiness. The extensions "IK" and "A2" indicate the scan engine that identified the file as malicious. IK stands for Ikarus and A2 for a-squared.

Righ-click in the Diagnosis list to open a context menu that provides the following actions:

• Select All – selects all objects on the list
• Select nothing – unselects all objects oin the list
• Invert – unselects all activated objects and selects all deactivated objects
• Add to whitelist – adds the file to the whitelist. The file will be excluded from recognition in the next scan.
• Submit as false alert – Automatically submits the file to our Malware Lab for checking a possible false alert.

The actions "Quarantine selected objects", "Delete selected objects", and "Save report" are available after every scan.

The most recent scan result is saved to My Files/a-squared/Logs/LastScan.txt even without saving it manually.

5. Quarantine

Quarantine provides a safe place for storing dangerous or suspicious files. A file can also be restored from quarantine when (e.g.) it was moved by mistake or as the result of a false alert.

The quarantine table has Source (path), Behavior/Infection, Risk level, Date and Submitted columns. The quarantine provides additional functions for managing these files. The Quarantine menu provides additional functions for managing these files.

"Save copy" allows you to save a 1:1 copy of the file to any desired location, e.g. to manually examine the file. "Submit file" sends the file to the Anti-Malware Network, allowing the developers to perform further analysis. This helps to classify currently unknown Malware and add it to the signature database. "Add file" allows you to move suspicious files into quarantine. "Restore" moves a file from quarantine back to its original location. "Delete" permanently removes the selected object(s) from the hard drive. These can then no longer be restored.

Right-clicking in the quarantine table displays a popup menu with "Select All", "Select nothing" and "Invert" menu items to make selection and editing of multiple objects easier.

6. Logs

Logging is an important tool for tracing procedures. This has "Malware-IDS", "Quarantine" and "Update" tabs:

• Malware-IDS - This lists all actions of the Malware-IDS, with "Date/Time", PID (Process ID), Source (file path), Event and Behavior/Infection columns. For example, the last column shows if a program has been permitted as the result of an alert reduction.
• Quarantine - List all quarantine functions with Date, Source (Path), Event and Behavior/Infection columns
• Update - All update actions are listed here. These can be manual or automatic updates. The "View details" button provides more information on each update action, such as the number and names of updated program elements and the size of the updates.

7. Background Guard

The a-squared Anti-Malware core, subdivided in "Application rules", "Malware-IDS", "Alerts", "Surf protection", and "Host rules", allows to easily configurate of all defined behavior rules precisely or to delete them.

7.1 Application Rules

Lists all defined application rules, with filename and mode. The filename field shows the file path of the program for which the rule was created. The mode field shows whether the program is blocked (Block), excluded from monitoring (Excluded) or monitored (Monitor).

Rules can be edited, deleted and added. The following section explains the dialog used for creating and editing a rule:

If a rule is to be created for program X, the first step is open the file selection dialog by clicking the "..." button next to the "Application Path:" field and select the appropriate file so that the complete path is displayed.

• "Don't alert updates of this executable file": Only use this option when you are sure that this file can not be manipulated or changed. Otherwise, this option should stay deactivated.
• "Don't scan on program execution": Only use this option when you are sure that this file can not be changed and does not contain Malware. When this option is activated, the file is not scanned by the OnExecution Scan with signature-based detection.
• "Monitor this application, but allow/block specific activities": Use this option to exactly define the behavior that is permitted for program X. All other possibly dangerous behavior will still be recognized and reported. To define the permitted behavior select the desired options in the list of behavior types in the lower part of the settings dialog.
• "Always block this application": Completely blocks program X so that it can no longer be run. a-squared Anti-Malware reliably prevents program X from starting, without manipulating the contents of the program file. Another possibility is to place the program in quarantine. This moves the file to a secure environment from where it can no longer be started.
• "Always allow this application": Program X is completely excluded from monitoring by a-squared Anti-Malware and can run freely. Only use this option when you are sure that you can trust the program. You can also use this option to prevent conflicts (program crashes) with other programs that use similar techniques as a-squared Anti-Malware.
• "Protect this application from process manipulations": Activate this option to prevent other processes from writing to the memory area of program X. Please note that some programs will only work correctly when this option is not activated. Only activate this feature when you are sure that program X does not require this functionality.

7.2 Malware-IDS Functions

In the Malware-IDS tab you define the types of behavior that should be monitored system-wide by a-squared Anti-Malware. To exclude particular types of behavior from monitoring, remove the tick next to the relevant entry. Only deactivate Malware-IDS components if you are sure that this will not compromise your system security.

7.3 Alert Settings

a-squared Anti-Malware reports the behavior of programs that are sometimes clearly damaging but sometimes also only possibly damaging. With some benign programs a clear decision between benign and malicious behavior is not technically possible. a-squared Anti-Malware always reports this type of suspicious behavior unless you activate alert reduction to reduce the number of false alarms relating to benign programs.

• Set [Create rule] as default for alerts – this option lets a-squared create a rule at each alert.
• Activate OnExecution Scan – ensures that every file is scanned for malicous code on execution.
• Activate intelligent alert reduction - a-squared Anti-Malware performs a technical analysis of the program file for a reported program to determine if this is a benign program. Good examples of false alerts are Explorer.exe (Windows Explorer), Internet Explorer or Firefox. When starting, all these programs exhibit behavior that is also used by Malware. For example, changing the browser settings or generating network traffic without a visible user interface. If intelligent alarm reduction is not activated, then warning alerts are generated each time these programs start. With activated intelligent alarm reduction, a-squared Anti-Malware recognizes that these are legitimate programs and does not generate warning alerts. The intelligent alarm reduction is deactivated by default because in rare situations it is possible that dangerous programs may also become active
• Community-based alert reduction - a-squared Anti-Malware relies on the intelligence of the masses. An online query to the Anti-Malware Network is made and the decisions of all a-squared Anti-Malware users on what to do with a reported program (allow, block, quarantine, exclude from monitoring) are displayed as a colored graphic. a-squared Anti-Malware uses this to provide a recommendation of how to proceed with the reported program.
• You can use percentage threshold values to define whether a program is automatically blocked or permitted using community-based alert reduction. The default values are a threshold of 90% for each. If 90% of a-squared Anti-Malware users have allowed the program to start then it will be automatically allowed on your system and an application rule is created for future program starts.
• Activate paranoid mode - Reports additional suspicious program starts and applications with a suspicious or Malware-similar file layout. The option is deactivated by default and is only recommended for advanced users.

7.4 Surf Protection

A new feature of a-squared Anti-Malware is the Surf Protection that gives you warnings of suspect websites and controls cookies.

The following settings can be done for cookie control and host monitoring by choosing from "Don't block", "Alert", "Block and notify", and "Block silently":

• TrackingCookies – TrackingCookies are small info files that the web browser can save on your PC by command of a visited web page. They allow that the page automatically recognizes you at your next visit. Advertising companies use this for their purpose for recording your surfing behavior. Banner ads are thus tailored to your interests. Although TrackingCookies are not a direct menace for the security of your PC, they can possibly harm your privacy.
• Ad/tracking hosts – hosts used for advertising and tracking purposes.
• Malware Hosts – hosts that are involved in spreading Malware (e.g. Adware, Spyware, Trojans, and Viruses, etc).
• Exploiting hosts – hosts that try to exploit the browser, the operating system, or Social Engineering.
• Fraudulent hosts – hosts that try to spread or sell fake or fraudulent software, for example SpyHunter, SpyFalcon, SpywareQuake, AdwareAlert, etc.
• HiJacking hosts – hosts that are involved in HiJacking (operating system, bandwidth, DBS, etc.).
• Phishing hosts – hosts that are involved in pishing. Phishing is a method that uses fake websites to spy out passwords and other private data.
• Warez hosts – hosts that are involved in spreading, distribution or supporting warez (includes for example key generators, serials, cracks, etc.).
• Other malicious hosts – hosts that are not yet classified in detail but that are suspected of spreading Malware or represent a risk.

7.5 Host Rules

The tab "Host Rules" lists all created rules with blocked and allowed hosts and cookies with "Hostname" and "Mode". The rules can be added, edited or removed individually.

The action "Import hosts" allows to create single rules or lists of rules through typing in the respective host and choosing the desired action "Don't block", "Alert", "Block and notify" or "block silently".

8. Configuration

In the configuration, all global options for the Background Guard, Scheduled Scans, Updates, Auto-Updates, Logging, Permissions, and Licences are set:

8.1 Background Guard Settings

The option "Enable background guard on system startup" should always be activated, otherwise you have no Malware protection and the Background Guard is not started automatically.

The option "Enable captcha protection at program end" ensures that the Background Guard cannot be terminated unauthorized by other programs or via the Task Manager. To close the Background Guard a combination of numbers must be typed in and affirmed.

The Option "Activate Explorer integration" allows to scan individual files or folders via the explorer context menu (right-click).

The option "Quarantine scan" provides the possibility to re-scan files in quarantine after every signature update, to determine and restore files that were declared incorrectly (false alerts) .

8.2 Scheduled Scan

In the "Scheduled Scan" menu you can easily set the timed scans of your PC

Take advantage of the very presce timing for the scan frequency:

• Monthly, on a certain day every month, for example every first day of a month.
• Weekly, on certain days of the week, for example only from Monday until Friday.
• Daily.

The time of execution can be set as follows:

• Run at a certain hour.
• In a time interval (the smallest interval possible is 30 minutes).
• Time restriction for the interval, for example from 7:00 until 17:00 every two hours.

Additional Settings:

The Scanner runs a Smart Scan as long as no Scan Settings File is specified. The Smart Scan scans all important folders on the hard disk, but not everything, which reduces the scan duration.

Alternatively, you can specify a custom Scan Settings File. Click on the "..." button and browse a Scan Settings File (.a2s). You can create Scan Settings Files with the scanner. Therefor, run the scanner and chose "Custom Scan". Select the options you want and then click on the "Save settings" button.

Silent mode:

You can rum the automatic Scan in silent mode in order to prevent disturbing popup windows during your work on the PC. The scan then starts without a visible window. Only an animated a-squared Scanner symbol appears in the corner of the Taskbar. If a Malware is detected, the scanner window will become visible at once and alert you. If nothing is found, the scanner is automatically closed after the work is done.

8.3 Update

Select the components to be taken into account for online updates by selecting or deselecting the check box for each desired option.

• Install program help - Select this option if you need help with a-squared Anti-Malware or want to keep up to date. The help files require about 1 Mb of extra disk space.
• Install additional languages - Select this option if you wish to install and update additional language support. If this option is deselected then only the language package you are currently using will be updated.
• Install beta updates - Select this option only if you always want to use the latest, untested Beta versions of the program files. We recommend that only experienced users select this option, or when you are requested to do this for fault-finding purposes.
• Submit names of detected Malware - Select this option if you want to submit the names of detected Malwares to Emsisoft for statistic purposes.
• Join the Anti-Malware Network - Select this option to send data on found objects as needed and to use the community-based alert reduction feature.
• Verify program modules versions - Select this option to check that all program components are up to date and authentic each time the program starts.

8.4 Auto-Update

Select the tab Auto-Update in the Configuration menu to set when and how often updates are to be downloaded automatically.

You can take advantage of a very detailed timing setting how often updates are to be checked for:

• Monthly, on a certain day every month, for example every first day of a month.
• Weekly, on certain days of the week, for example only from Monday until Friday.
• Daily (recommended).

The time of execution can be set as follows:

• Run at a certain hour.
• In a time interval (the smallest interval possible is 30 minutes).
• Time restriction for the interval, for example from 7:00 until 17:00 every 30 minutes (recommended).

8.5 Logs

Define the maximum number of log messages for Updates, Quarantine and Malware-IDS messages. Use a value of 0 for unlimited logging (default value).

8.6 Permissions

If you use several Windows user accounts you can prevent individual users from changing the configuration of a-squared Anti-Malware. The default settings allow all users unrestricted access to all a-squared Anti-Malware functions. Open this dialog as an Administrator and select a non-administrator user that you wish to restrict. Then select the functions that this user is allowed to access. If your PC belongs to a domain, then select "Use domain users" to change the user list.

Permissions are an effective way of (e.g.) preventing children from using possibly dangerous programs. You can use an "Always block this application" application rule to prevent specific programs from running.

8.7 License

Here you can manage your license(s) or convert coupon codes into new licenses. The license list shows the license number, type, start date and end date of each license. For a-squared Anti-Malware to function, at least one license that has not expired must be selected in this list. The "Connection settings" hyperlink allows you to configure your Proxy settings.

9. a-squared Anti-Malware in Operation

An alert message from a-squared Anti-Malware looks like this

The most important rule when dealing with a-squared Anti-Malware alert messages is: "Keep calm!". You have plenty of time to make a decision because the reported program has been immediately interrupted and rendered inoperative as soon as the alert occurs. Look closely at the alert message and see where the reported program comes from (filename and path). This information is often enough to decide whether this is a suspicious or benign application. Did you start the program yourself or was it started in the background? Does the program come from a trustworthy source? What information is can be obtained from the file properties (Details tab) of the reported file?

For false alerts relating to benign programs the community-based alert reduction can help in many cases. Programs used by many users are often evaluated. You can then see the decisions of other users in the form of a bar graph. If most other users have allowed the program to run then a-squared Anti-Malware will recommend that you do the same.

If you are still unsure after checking, then take no risks and move the file to quarantine. Then contact our support team at the Customer Center or Support forum and give them all readable information, such as path, file properties, diagnosis, a-squared Anti-Malware version, Windows version and what you were doing when the alert appeared.
