New in 2017.10: MSI setups, faster updates, improved Windows integration

The highlight of this month’s update is the arrival of MSI setup files for Emsisoft Anti-Malware, which will undoubtedly come in handy for advanced users and network administrators alike. Together with Emsisoft Enterprise Console, they can be used for time-efficient group policy deployment in larger Windows networks. A new, smaller web installer is now also available for download.

How to obtain the new version

As always, so long as you have auto-updates enabled in the software, you will receive the latest version automatically during your regularly scheduled updates, which are hourly by default. New users, please download the full installer from our product pages.

Note to Enterprise users: If you have chosen to receive “Delayed” updates in the Update settings for your clients, they will receive the new software version no earlier than 30 days after the regular “Stable” availability. This gives you time to perform internal compatibility tests before a new version gets rolled out to your clients automatically.

Have a great, well-protected day!
