As part of the eScan 10 AntiVirus and Internet Security Suite version, eScan
has introduced a unique feature of Auto backup and Restore (ABR).
This latest feature is expected to work seamlessly on all OS versions
including the new Windows 7. Once installed the backup feature will be enabled
by default and all the backup files will be removed once eScan is uninstalled.
It will take auto backups of all PE files. eScans' distinct intelligence ensures
that no back-up is taken of infected files.
Govind Ramamurthy, CEO & MD, eScan, said, “Considering the rapid growth of
threats that's being seen in the computing world, the size of signature
databases and the computing power needed to analyze a file keeps growing.”
“The only recourse to ensure that computing resources are not wasted on virus
scanning is to have reputation databases. eScan ABR is one step towards creating
a reputation database of files on a PC. With a solid reputation database in
place, eScan will end up scanning only about 5percent of the files on a PC,
thereby drastically increasing the performance. In other words, with a
combination of eScan ABR, Reputation DB and Cloud computing, only files which
are 'new' or 'unknown' will be scanned,” he elaborated.
