Heuristic/Reference Scanning

eScan has a powerful AntiVirus engine that scans your system for viruses and other threats. The various features are:

Heuristic Analysis A virus-infected file displays suspicious behavior, has strange code or content. eScan is built to recognize such files. Heuristic analysis of your system reveals any file, folder or application, which appears strange. Such files can be either deleted or quarantined. You can then mail a copy of this file to MicroWorld so they can analyze it and come back to you with a solution.

Reference Analysis Known viruses are identified by their code (called virus signatures). eScan has a vast database of over 50,000 known viruses. Reference Analysis creates a checksum of files that are analyzed and refers to these checksums the next time an analysis is performed. This allows eScan to detect unknown viruses.

Select File Type eScan can scan all types of file formats. This includes file types such as bat, JS, MIRC, Inf, php, pdf, doc, ppt, etc.

This feature is found in Monitor Settings > eScan Monitor Settings > Analysis > Objects

Scan File types

eScan scans all file types. A list of file types list is included in eScan, but you can add new file types as required.

eScan allows you to select actions to be run when eScan detects an infected file. These actions can be configured separately when scheduled scanning is done or for immediate scanning. When an infected file is detected, you can choose to record the details, stop search, remove virus immediately, delete infected file or quarantine the infected file. Settings can be set for both heuristic scan and reference analysis.
