It's not clear to me that Silent Mode is relevant to this issue. I think what's actually significant is how busy your machine is, just before an update is attempted. You've said before that, when the machine suddenly slows down, "Nothing else is running, apart from general browsing, when this happens".
If that's really true then you're NOT using so much resource that it'd be better to defer an update. We really need to know whether the machine is running flat out doing that "general browsing". My Windows 8. Its possible that other things are also updating at that time. Most of my updates are set for automatic update, including Microsoft. My point is that if Emsisoft senses that my resource is very busy, it should recognise the Silent Mode selection and update later, when resource is available.
The fact that it turns it on and off to suit itself seems odd. Why have the option if its ignored. Although, as I stated earlier, both Silent Modes have been selected, but there is still not any arcade icon on the Emsisoft shield on my taskbar.
You only get the arcade icon when you take the tick out of the box for 'don't show notifications in silent mode''. It will stop the update notification appearing on your screen when you are playing a game which is using all of the screen on your PC. People don't like their games etc being interrupted like this. Cranfield - "slowdown at first morning update" Or do you mean "at any time in the first hour after you start using it"?
If it's "as soon as", I'd find it hard to believe that in that instant you'd already started using the browser heavily. But then again, do you ever properly shut down the machine? It's worth doing a full shutdown once every few days. With my Win 8. When you say "The fact that it turns it on and off to suit itself seems odd. EAM is merely telling you that it knows you're going in and out of full-screen mode by running a game, or watching video in a full-screen or something.
It has to know whether you're in full-screen mode, so as to avoid interrupting your game, or video or whatever. The "arcade icon" is very very small. It's just a yellow blob superimposed on the bottom third or so of the EAM systray green shield icon.
I do not mean as soon as I turn the machine on, but usually within the first two hours, sometimes a bit later. I only suggested this as other uses of my resource, as I have already said I do not have loads of tabs open, or download things constantly.

Shut down protection by right-clicking on the green shield icon in the tray. It uninstalls much like any other program. Restarting is mandatory to unload the driver. The product should now be uninstalled. In the rare case of an incomplete uninstall, you can use Emsiclean to remove any remaining traces of the program. A VirusTotal scan confirms that this file is malicious as well.
To confirm if both objects identified belong to the same infection or not, you can compare both VirusTotal reports. As mentioned before, malware may simply re-add itself if removed, or even stop the removal attempt.
A better alternative, especially in malware removal, is Process Explorer. Process explorer is a particularly good option because it provides a lot more information about listed processes compared to Task Manager as you can see here.
As you can see in Figure 5, only one matches all details of the bad entry: Our svhost. Please note that if Autoruns removes a registry load point, the associated file may still need to be removed manually. An alternative solution would be to reboot the computer in Safe Mode which will load neither Run values nor Startup folder files.
This method would have avoided the additional download of Process Explorer. We hope you enjoyed this introduction to malware removal!
In the meantime, please remember, prevention is better than cure—start with a solid antivirus and anti-malware program and avoid the headache altogether.

There are multitudes of malware variants and many need a different approach for removal compared to the method presented here. However, covering all of those exceptions would not serve the purpose of this blog post.

The fact that our AV back then could "magically" make it go away sparked my interest.
