Anti-Virus Status
eScan for Linux has a menu that gives important information such as the date of virus signatures were downloaded the eScan anti-virus engine version and the total number of virus that can be removed.
SCANNING FILES AND DIRECTORIES
eScan allows you to select different objects in your system and scan them for viruses. You can select and scan any directory or file, your whole computer, directories in your system and also running process for memory resident viruses.
SET ACTIONS FOR INFECTED FILES
When infected files are detected, you can set the action to be taken. The actions that can be preset include renaming the infected file, quarantining it to a special directory, cleaning the file and if that fails, either rename or delete the file, etc.
Another feature is that you can select specific file types for scanning. Different file types like packed, mail databases, archived, plain mail, self-extracting archived files.
Download Updates
New viruses appear everyday. Updates are vaccines that detect and remove them. eScan can be configured to download updates from MicroWorld's free download sites
Schedule for Scanning
You can set a schedule to automatically scan your system at a preset time. When virus infected files are detected, actions you have selected earlier are run
View eScan Log
eScan generates a comprehensive log of anti-virus activity. The log shows date and time when scanning was done, path and name of objects scanned.
