eScan, a leading Information Security solution that provides proactive protection against viruses, spam, trojan, and many other information security threats, has again received the prestigious Three Star Award – Advanced+ from AV Comparatives for Proactive/Retrospective as well as On-demand detection of potentially unwanted applications which include Adware, Spyware and Rogue Software. eScan Internet Security Suite was also awarded VB100 certification from UK based Virus Bulletin.
AV-Comparatives provide a three-level ranking system of Standard, Advanced and Advanced+ award to Antivirus software based on their scoring in the tests. To receive an "Advanced+" rating, a product must be rated with not only an excellent proactive detection rate, but also a low false positive rate. The retrospective test is performed using passive scanning and demonstrates the ability of the products under test to detect new malware proactively, without being executed. The PUA (Potentially unwanted Applications) tests included only program executable files and covers mainly Adware, Spyware and Rouge Software. The products were tested with the highest settings.
While in order to receive VB100% certification, an anti-virus product must have demonstrated in the tests that:
· It detects all In the Wild viruses during both on-demand and on-access scanning.
· It generates no false positives when scanning a set of clean files.
eScan Internet Security Suite demonstrated a high detection rate with strong scores across all sets and no issues in Wild List or clean sets.
Speaking on this, Mr. Govind Rammurthy, Managing Director and CEO of eScan said, “eScan continues to be one of the top vendors tested by AV-Comparatives that has consistently received the highest ranking (Advanced+) in proactive detection tests. As its impressive testing record indicates, eScan has always understood the importance of strong heuristics in fighting malware. ” He further added, “eScan was among the top scorers with a good detection rate in the removal of adware, spyware and rouge software.”
John Hawes, editor, Technical Consultant & Test Team Director, commented in the test bulletin, “eScan detection rates continue to impress with strong scores across all sets, and with no issues in the Wild List or clean sets and another VB100% award is well deserved by eScan.”
