eScan Internet Security Suite is a software solution designed to protect your computer system from any type of web-based attack.
Well-organized interface with various protection tools
The user-friendly interface comes with a few options displayed in a menu which resembles the Mac OS X Dock – File Anti-Virus, Mail Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Web Protection, Firewall, Endpoint Security, Privacy Control.
Scan files for viruses and malware, and configure scanning options. For example, you can enable eScan to take automatic action in case it detects viruses (report only, make backup files before disinfection, disinfect by quarantining or deleting objects), to scan local removable disk drives or network drives, exclude scanning by mask, and scan archived files.
Scan email content in real-time and block spam
eScan Internet Security also allows you to scan for viruses in emails, prevent spam (e.g. check content of HTML emails, treat subjects with more than five whitespaces as spam), enable web protection according to profile (e.g. adult, teenager), configure firewall settings (zone rule, expert rule, application rule, trusted MAC address, local IP list), and configure endpoint security settings (enable application and USB control).
Furthermore, you can password-protect eScan Internet Security, scan memory, registry, and services, schedule a scan, create an eScan Rescue ISO image file, view logs, enable an automatic backup and restore utility, enable gaming mode, and use a virtual keyboard.
A complete security suite suitable for every computer
A scanning process can take a long time to complete, but eScan is thorough and uses a small amount of CPU and system resources. While the program is active, other processes run a bit slower in the background. The bottom line is that eScan Internet Security is a great tool that provides you with anti-virus protection.
