Descrption:
The Virus Bulletin Organization, based in UK, is one of the most revered testing bodies in the security software industry and the VB100% Award is given to those products which pass the stringent testing done by the Quality Assurance body.

With the number of Linux users increasing rapidly, the demand for a comprehensive Security Solution has also shot up immensely. Drawing energy from their decade-long research and analysis, eScan from MicroWorld stands to be the most powerful, stable and mature Security Solution for the Linux platform. The VB100% award is another great recognition for the Security Software from MicroWorld.

There are three major criteria to go through, in order to win this coveted award. One, the product under testing, detects all viruses in the wild, during both on-demand and on-access scanning. Two, it generates ‘no false positives’ while scanning a set of clean files. Three, the solution must fulfill these standards in its default state.

eScan’s Real-Time monitor directly integrates with the Linux Kernel. Every time a process tries to read or write a file from the file system, the monitor scans the file for virus or other malware. If an infection is found, access to the file will be denied or the file will be quarantined or deleted.

“Recognition from Virus Bulletin is an esteemed honor and it provides us the momentum to push the envelope further. Today, eScan is the best and the most advanced Security Solution for the open source platform and we will strive harder to remain so by accelerating our research and innovation,” said Govind Rammurthy, CEO, MicroWorld Technologies.

MicroWorld has developed three major security products: eScan, MailScan and eConceal. eScan is a comprehensive antivirus and Content Security solution designed and developed to provide enterprises and personal computers with essential protection against Viruses, Spyware, Adware, Malware, Keyloggers, Hackers, Spammers, privacy related issues and objectionable content.

MailScan is the total Content Security and Traffic Scanning software for Mail Servers that checks the content in e-mails and its attachments for viruses and other online threats.

The new offer from MicroWorld, eConceal Firewall, is a comprehensive enterprise-class firewall under beta testing.

“For us, the concept of security is not about a defensive or reactionary mechanism. Instead, it is a proactive and pre-emptive one. With such an approach governing our thought process, design and development, we safeguard our users from viruses of the past, present and the future. In other words, our solution works like a sophisticated, threat identification and destroying weapon with 100% accuracy and precision,” Govind Rammurthy reflected on the differential thinking of MicroWorld.
