A Squared Anti-Malware

 * Weak delete. No indication of notability in the article as it stands but Googling shows a few mentions in RS sources although I am not seeing really significant coverage (e.g. dedicated reviews). This comparison article is about as good as it gets: . It is not a major player in the anti-malware market in English speaking countries. If there is evidence that it is a major player elsewhere then this needs to be added, otherwise it is a delete. Note: Despite being Austrian, there is no article about the product on the German language Wikipedia. They do have a two articles on the parent company though: de:Emsi Software GmbH (poorly referenced) and de:Emsi Software (short, unreferenced)! Perhaps somebody who speaks German might like to pop over there and sort this out. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. We may as well document it, as we have well-written articles for other well known anti-virus/anti-malware software, such as Avast! and AVG.  Wandering  Traveler  02:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
