eScan proven as highly effective security solution without slowing down computers

eScan Internet Security Suite version 14.0 for home users receives yet another AV-Test certification.


Johannesburg, 03 Mar 2015

Yet again, eScan has been certified by the prestigious AV-Test certification for its Home User product, eScan Internet Security Suite with Cloud Security. eScan has continuously won these certifications, proving itself as a focused and highly effective anti-virus product.

The AV-Test certification is an internationally recognised comparative testing process designed to assess the strength of IT security products. Under the AV-Test criteria, anti-virus products receive scores based on the 'protection' category, which comprises malware detection results; the 'performance' category, which comprises average impact of security product on speed of computer; and the 'usability' category, which includes disruptions caused by false warnings, false positives and false blockages.

Hence, it acknowledges supportive and effective anti-virus products that offer best performance, which adds to setting up existing standards in the field of IT security and technology. During November and December 2014, the test was conducted on Windows 7 (SP1, 64 bit) platform. eScan earned excellent scores for protection against malware infections (such as viruses, worms or Trojan horses) and usability.

Mornay Viljoen, eScan South Africa, said: "AV-Test test results have once again proven eScan as a reliable security solution that provides maximum protection to IT users against evolving cyber threats. Mainly focused on realistic test scenarios and real-world threats, eScan Internet Security Suite effectively safeguards PCs by evading all evolving IT security threats, with minimal system impact as well as absolutely zero false warnings, false positive and false blockages."

eScan Internet Security Suite with Cloud Security ensures 100% security of PCs against zero-day malware attacks, Web and e-mail threats, downloading/installing rogue software and surfing malware-infected Web sites.
