The file Zemana AntiMalware identified as Malicious/Adware here, jusched32.exe, seems to have something to do with Java updates. I made it scan my whole C:/ drive, and after over an hour, it’d barely gotten a quarter of the way through:

The disadvantage of the deep scan is it’s about 100x slower. A smart scan may only find the most obvious malware, but the deep scan will have a much higher chance of finding malware that actually tries to hide itself. This is the option you want to use to be thorough. While a smart scan scans your entire PC quickly, a deep scan asks you to specify a specific folder (or a whole drive) to scan in-depth. This took about 3 minutes on my laptop and found no issues (this is a laptop that’s just a few months old and I have only downloaded trusted software that I test in our software reviews, so I was expecting it to be clean): exe (just over 12MB):Īfter installing Zemana AntiMalware, you’ll see a dashboard like this:įirst, a “smart” scan. Go to and click the DOWNLOAD FREE DEMO button, then run the setup. Therefore, while Zemana is by no means a giant company, it’s also not a 2-guys-working-in-a-shed type outfit. I can at least confirm that many real people (software developers and others) work for Zemana, as in Googling people listed at the company (such as on their ZoomInfo page) you can find legitimate LinkedIn or other profiles for them, where Zemana is listed as their place of employment. I’m not sure about Zemana’s actual revenue numbers, though, since Owler (a competing company info site that hides its content behind popups) lists Zemana’s revenue as $10 million, while RocketReach lists their revenue at a much bigger $79 million. On ZoomInfo, Zemana is listed as having revenue of $18 Million and 96 employees. The current CEO and co-founder of Zemana is Orhan Akyurek (active on Twitter and LinkedIn, though mostly in Turkish). Zemana, based in Turkey, was founded in 2007 with the goal to “provide the world with innovative cyber-security solutions” ( link). So is it safe? Does it actually remove malware? Should you use it over its numerous competitors? In this review I’ll answer these questions and other commonly-asked questions about Zemana, and finally give my verdict on whether Zemana AntiMalware is actually any good.įirst, a quick introduction to the company behind the software. If you go to the Zemana AntiMalware page on Zemana’s website, there’s barely 2 sentences of information on it, and it’s far less-known than antivirus tools from the big dogs in this market like Malwarebytes, Kaspersky and Avast.
