A comment from one of the authors of EasyMalwareBlocker to '5 drivers installed':
As stated in the 'Home Version' page of our homepage EasyMalwareBlocker installs 2 drivers only, one is the Network driver ("Firewall") and the other one is the File System Monitor. I guess that anyone who writes drivers could confirm that nobody writes them just for fun.
When the Network driver is being installed the system prompts the user 3, 4 or even 5 times whether or not the installation of the unsigned driver can be continued. We don't know why the system asks the same question several times when it is installing just one Network driver. No popups appear when the (unsigned) File System Monitor is being installed.
Both drivers are unsigned because the project is still in the developping phase. Once a driver is signed it must not be modified and another application for a signature has to be handed in.
