Remote Access File Rights/Firewall
For security reasons, remote users
from other machines should not be allowed to modify or create certain files. Some
types of viruses create virus carrier files that are uploaded into the network.
You can selectively allow or bar specific file types from being created or modified.
There are four frames, each of which allows you to assign files for a specific
task. Each frame has a list box that displays included names in the non-editable
display rows and a field to enter file name extensions. Three buttons are provided
for each frame that allows you to add, delete or remove a name from the list.
You can specify file types that remote users are allowed/not allowed to create
and modify. The feature is found in eScan Content Administrator >
Remote Access File Rights The features are marked in red in the following
screen.

Auto Updates
Updates are vaccines created by MicroWorld to remove new
virus that have appeared or may have infected your system. These are stored in
our dedicated download mirror sites. When you install eScan, it checks your system
and refreshes some of the fields in the eScan Updater user interface. MicroWorld
has assigned the most optimum default values for download sites, mode of connecting
to these sites, time interval for download of updates, etc. Change the values
only if required. Typically the updates are up to 10 KB in size, so downloads
are fast. Settings for downloading updates are pre-configured. If required
you can change settings for downloading updates. The following are the key features:
- Bandwidth saving incremental updates for Dial-Up users
- Daily
updates
- Separate executable cumulative updates available

Windows Security Center from Microsoft checks security features of the system.
You can register eScan with WSC. On XP windows with SP2 installed, eScan can be
registered with the Windows Security Center (WSC). Once registered, eScan will
be regarded as a genuine application.
Warning
Messages if Virus Signatures not downloaded for three days
MicroWorld
provides free virus signatures. eScan can be configured to download them at a
fixed time. New viruses appear almost every day and can threaten your system.
It is important that the signatures be downloaded everyday. If the signatures
are more than three days old, then a warning message is given so that you can
immediately download them.
Auto deployment
of license
The eScan Management Console (eServ) module allows you to
deploy licenses to all eScan clients in the network. The new feature of eScan
ensures that when new licenses are available, they are automatically deployed
to all clients.
Detection of Spyware and
Keyloggers
Spywares and Keyloggers are hackers tools that give hackers
access to your system. Spywares allow people hackers to spy on your machine and
see your files. Keyloggers record all keyboard commands that you run. If these
tools have been installed on your system, hackers can easily steal your identity,
passwords, credit card information, etc. eScan detects and removes such malicious
applications from your system.
Firewall
mode for Win 9x machines
Machines running on 9x are prone to be very
slow and if eScan is running on them, sometimes the machines do not respond and
crash. If Firewall mode is selected then Win 9x machines do not slow down. But
the firewall mode is enabled with low system security.
Installing with Microsoft SMS
You can install eScan using Microsoft
SMS. For details please refer SPECIAL.TXT |
