eScan Antivirus Toolkit 12.x (MWAV Toolkit Utility) is now available for free

eScan, one of the leading information security solutions, announced the launch of the eScan Antivirus Toolkit version 12.x. The earlier free version of the eScan Antivirus Toolkit provided only the option of scanning systems for infection. Now with the version 12.x, eScan announced that the free eScan Antivirus Toolkit can also clean malware infections.

eScan Antivirus Toolkit, formerly known as the MWAV Toolkit Utility, is a very popular free utility that enables computer users to scan and clean viruses, spyware, adware and any other malware that may have infected their computer systems.

The eScan Antivirus Toolkit requires no installation and can be run directly from the computer hard disk, USB drive or from a CD ROM. It can also be run with a pre-exisiting anti-virus software installed on the computer. The eScan Antivirus Toolkit also gets updated on a daily basis, with the latest updates to detect recently released spyware and adware, plus the engine has been improvised for faster and intelligent detection and cleaning.

Mr Govind Rammurthy, CEO and Managing Director of eScan, said: "The free MWAV Toolkit Utility has been very popular as it provides the option to scan the computers for malware without any installation required. As part of our brand consolidation strategy, we wanted to strengthen the eScan brand by bringing all our product offerings under the eScan brand. On the same lines, we have changed the name from MWAV Toolkit Utility to eScan Antivirus Toolkit Utility. Also bowing to the constant request from our customers and partners, we have provided the option to clean malware in this new version. eScan Antivirus Toolkit users can now not only get to experience the superior scanning performance of eScan, but also experience its award winning malware cleaning technology. Users can also schedule a start-up scan by adding the eScan Antivirus Toolkit to the Windows start-up list of programs."

eScan Antivirus Toolkit(MWAV Toolkit Utility) has, for long, been one of the best answers to scanning and disinfecting computers of illegal sniffers and tools such as spyware, adware and other malware. Its compatibility with Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 2008 (32 and 64-bit OS) has made it one of the most popular downloads worldwide.
