New in 2023.5: More performance improvements

We want our solutions to be so efficient that you barely notice when they’re running in the background. In keeping with that objective, this month’s update is once again focused on performance improvements and speed optimizations.

After this update, you should find that applications open more snappily, and that scans are speedier due to revisions made to the engine code.

In addition, we have made significant improvements to the Emsisoft Management Console. The device list in your Workspace Dashboard is now more responsive, with less data-reload flickering and improved scroll behavior.

At Emsisoft, we believe in delivering maximum protection with minimum resource use, and we hope this update will help ensure our products continue to provide you with a second-to-none experience.
