eScan now protects Windows 10


Johannesburg, 03 Aug 2015

eScan, one of the leading anti-virus and content security solution providers, has announced the compatibility of its desktop products with Windows 10, the much awaited operating system from Microsoft.

As per Microsoft, the Windows 10 OS has undergone thousands of refinements over the earlier version of Windows and it aims to redefine the multitasking computing experience for its customers. Microsoft claims that Windows 10 has been designed to help the users to be more productive and comfortable to use, with a range of innovations.

Besides, Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 if upgraded within the first year of release. However, Windows XP or Vista users will have to buy the Windows 10 upgrade.

Mornay Viljoen of eScan South Africa, said: "According to a latest research report, the market share of Windows OS is 96.59% as on June 2015. With its wide user base, Windows has always been the prime target of cyber criminals, and the latest OS will be no exception. The introduction of the Windows Store that lists trusted applications will help in better management of the system's security, but still security remains a major concern. As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we have worked closely with Microsoft to ensure eScan leverages the technical advancements in Windows 10 to help protect our users proactively. eScan customers who are upgrading to Windows 10 do not have to worry, as the latest updates from eScan will ensure eScan will work seamlessly on Windows 10."

The eScan range of products for small office and home users that are compatible with Windows 10 are available in more than 18 languages at: http://www.escan.co.za.
