Unlike other antimalware software, Zemana is minimalist but lacks some essential modern components. Therefore, additional protection is recommended to keep rogue browser extensions, toolbars, and other adware off the computer, such as Malwarebytes. Unfortunately, even though many antivirus manufacturers are tightening the detection of PUPs, the overall protection often (still) leaves much to be desired. This kind of unwanted software in the category of adware is very annoying, a well-known example is the display of unwanted advertisements on the Internet. The built-in “Browser Cleanup” is additional protection against potentially unwanted software, PUPs.

Detecting unknown browser hijackers is partly due to the machine learning technique. For example, Zemana is very good at detecting browser hijackers that modify the search engine and your browser settings. By the use of machine learning, Zemana will detect new malware faster than using antivirus definitions.

In addition to the different scanning methods, Zemana also uses machine learning techniques. The deep scan will check the entire system and detect and remove inactive malware and any remnants. The difference between the two scanning methods is that the smart scan will only check certain areas of Windows for active malware. When the smart scan detects malware, it is recommended to perform a deep scan afterward as well. You mainly use the smart scan method for a periodic check or if you want to check the system quickly. Zemana AntiMalware has two different scanning methods, a smart scan, and a deep scan. If it is a virus file, then Zemana will remove the file from your computer. On the remote server, the virus file is scanned for malicious code, and the user is informed about the outcome of the potential virus file. A cloud scanner is a program that does not download the malware antivirus definitions to the computer but sends the file being scanned for viruses to a remote server.
