MicroWorld Technologies today announced
that their AntiVirus and Content Security software
eScan has won the prestigious ‘Advanced+’
certification from the widely respected independent
testing body, AV Comparatives, while some leading
products in the AntiVirus market fell short of achieving
the same grade.
AV Comparatives is an organization that’s going
from strength to strength in popularity and credibility
as an independent comparative testing body of various
AntiVirus products in the present day market. Participating
solutions are put through rigorous testing procedures
to certify each of them as ‘Advanced+’,
‘Advanced’ or ‘Standard’. By achieving
Advanced+, eScan once again proved that it gives consistent
protection for its users from the growing threat of
malicious programs.
“It’s a remarkable achievement to emerge
victorious in a test that pitted us against almost
all other leading products in the market,” said
Sunil Kripalani, Vice President, Global Sales and
Marketing, MicroWorld Technologies. “We draw
great inspiration from this certification to maintain
and exceed our commitment to defeat all sorts of security
threats by employing futuristic security concepts
and technologies in a proactive manner”.
Propelled by the unique, patent pending MWL (MicroWorld
Winsock Layer) technology, eScan works differently
from all existing security products made by competitor
firms. The MWL layer is placed at the Winsock layer
of Windows Operating System to make sure that every
data packet that comes into the computer has to go
through it, before the data reaches the application
level. This unique technology enables eScan’s
Real-Time AntiVirus system to spot and block malware
at the network level itself.
To detect new and emerging Viruses instantly, eScan
uses a highly advanced heuristic algorithm that works
on a Behavior and Intention analysis. The software
also gives powerful protection for Enterprise customers
and home users from the growing threat of Spyware,
Adware and Greyware.
On the Spam Filter and Phishing Control front, eScan
works on a combination of technologies while its Content
Security module gives powerful features in Parental
Control for home users. At the Enterprise level, eScan
corporate version for Servers and Desktops gives a
single point administration for implementing and managing
across-the-board Security Policies for Malware Protection,
Spyware Defense and Web Traffic Control.
