Want antivirus that also patches missing Windows updates and guards against ransomware? eScan Anti-Virus watches Windows activity in real time and scans files, memory, folders and drives for malware. Its protection combines signature checks with behavior analysis, heuristic scanning, and deep-learning detection.
How does eScan inspect threats?
Real-time protection watches for malicious activity, including spyware and ransomware. Signature-based detection checks files against known malware patterns, while behavior analysis and heuristic scanning look for suspicious activity. Deep-learning detection and exploit prevention add further inspection methods.
- Run an on-demand scan on files, memory, folders, or storage devices.
- Whitelisting and cached scan results reduce repeat checks on recognized items.
Ransomware response and Windows patches
The Proactive Behavior Analysis Engine monitors process activity for behavior associated with ransomware. If a threat is detected, Intelligent Shadow Backup is designed to preserve important data for recovery. eScan also checks installed Windows security patches against its patch database and installs missing critical updates.
Network and device controls
The two-way firewall filters incoming and outgoing network requests, giving users control over connections to the PC and internet access by applications. Other named controls include USB Vaccination, a virtual keyboard, Gaming Mode, and a mobile-scan feature.
