Schlägt leider keinen Alarm beim Versuch auf der Eicar-Testseite den entsprechenden Download anzustoßen - daher direkt wieder deinstalliert. Andere Security- Browser Plugins können das!

Trust it - as Emsisoft product. Small/ negligible footprint (shift+esc). Extra layer along with smartscreen, etc. So keeping it. Checked it out on malware blocking testing sites. Thank you.
