Last week (as promised) I put ESS 4.0 to the test -- the detection and removal test.
Testing Condition: 
- A very infected computer (rootkits, trojans, worms, adware) that needs to be cleaned.
- ESS 4.0 installed, set to maximum protection and updated.
Result:
- ESS 4.0 removed quite a bit of malware, however the PC would have been unuable since ESS deleted userinit.exe.
- Rootkits were not able to be removed, however they were detected by ESS.
- The PC required a lot of cleanup via bootable antimalware disc just to get on the internet.
Note:
- These tests are always fun to do, but it’s just for fun. ESS 4.0 is designed to protect your PC from Malware being installed, not to remove it.
- This ESS 4.0 detection and removal test is also a great tutorial for cleaning and repairing a PC after a malware infestation.
