Getting your computer infected is among some of the most frustrating issues to deal with. In fact, having any of your devices — be it a computer, mobile phone, or even TV or console — infected is a nuisance, so it's best that users exercise caution at all times when navigating the web.

Suiting your computer with an antivirus is always a good choice, and an even better one is pairing that tool with a dedicated removal tool, effectively doubling-up on protection. Emsisoft Emergency Kit, though best used in critical situations, can act as a great tool to keep malware at bay and prevent emergencies from happening.

The tool was conceived to be used immediately when the user suspects their computer suffered a malware infection. To help with that, the program is easy to use and readily lays everything out to you from the main interface: you can commence a scan and PC clean-up right away after booting it up.

Quick Scan does a good job in scanning the user's active programs and checking for malware traces. Lesser malware are usually found this way. In the case of a more virulent infection, the Malware Scan function will look into all the places malwares often infect.

Users can also elect to have the program perform a custom malware search: you can toggle to search for active Rootkits, scan your machine's memory, and so forth. Scanning in email data files is also possible, as well as in NTFS Alternate Data Streams.

Anything remotely suspicious will be quarantined, and you can see everything at a glance there: you can choose to mark and restore a file when you know it's a false positive. While quarantined items cannot damage your computer, you can still delete them entirely.

Emsisoft Emergency Kit is a handy tool to have when you want to ensure your computer stays protected: prevention is better than cure, and periodic quick scans will keep your machine safe.
