Remote Access File Rights/Firewall

For security reasons, remote users from other machines should not be allowed to modify or create certain files. Some types of viruses create virus carrier files that are uploaded into the network. You can selectively allow or bar specific file types from being created or modified. There are four frames, each of which allows you to assign files for a specific task. Each frame has a list box that displays included names in the non-editable display rows and a field to enter file name extensions. Three buttons are provided for each frame that allows you to add, delete or remove a name from the list.

You can specify file types that remote users are allowed/not allowed to create and modify.

The feature is found in eScan Content Administrator > Remote Access File Rights

The features are marked in red in the following screen.

Download Auto Updates

Updates are vaccines created by MicroWorld to remove new virus that have appeared or may have infected your system. These are stored in our dedicated download mirror sites. When you install eScan, it checks your system and refreshes some of the fields in the eScan Updater user interface. MicroWorld has assigned the most optimum default values for download sites, mode of connecting to these sites, time interval for download of updates, etc. Change the values only if required. Typically the updates are up to 10 KB in size, so downloads are fast.

Settings for downloading updates are pre-configured. If required you can change settings for downloading updates. The following are the key features:


  Bandwidth saving incremental updates for Dial-Up users
