Answer:
Rule-Set are set of rules defined within eScan.
For Example:
If you define a rule that any file with the name KAK.HTA should be deleted.
eScan will detect this file and if found will delete it.

How does Rule-Set gets updated?

Answer:
Whenever we confirm the existence of a new Virus (or a Worm, etc) in the form of a standard filename, we update the Rule-Set on the Internet Server. So, when eScan connects to Internet to download the latest updates, it even updates the Rule-Set.

Do I need to define the Server's IP address on the eScan Client?

Answer:
No. The eScan server has an announcement mechanism wherein it broadcasts its availability over the network. All the eScan clients will listen to this broadcast & update themselves with the eScan Server's IP address.
Back to Top

If I change the IP address of my eScan Server or in case I change my eScan Server, do I need to re-configure all the Clients with the eScan Server's new IP address?

Answer:
No. Since the eScan Server will now broadcast its new IP address, all eScan clients will automatically sense this change & will accordingly update their configuration files.
Back to Top

Can I have multiple eScan Servers? If Yes, Why?

Answer:
Yes, you can have multiple eScan Servers. We recommend you to have at least two (2) eScan Servers since, in case one goes down, the other will take care of the eScan clients.
This provides redundancy and additional protection for your network.
Back to Top

Can I configure two eScan Servers as Masters, for redundancy?

Answer:
Yes. You can do that. In this case, both eScan Master Servers will announce on different ports & eScan clients will attach themselves to the Server whose announcement they get first.
Back to Top

Can I restrict the user from disabling eScan? If Yes, how?

Also when the auto-update runs there is activity showing in the WWW proxy in WinGate. It appears that eScan is trying to go to http://www.microworldsystems.com/sendinfo . Any ideas why the auto update would try to go to that URL?

Answer:
http://www.microworldsystems.com/sendinfo/index.htm is a page which has the date and time of the last updated file.
MailScan Auto-Updater downloads this information after a scheduled interval to check whether new updates have arrived. Once MailScan gets this info, it then contacts one of the many FTP servers to download the latest update.
Microworld's FTP server is the first FTP-server to get updated.Updates are mirrored to all other FTP servers from our server.
If you disable Automatic Updates, the access to sendinfo will stop.
NOTE: This will happen only in eScan version 9.

I have installed eScan on my Laptops. Now my Laptop never does a clean shutdown! It just seems to wait indefinitely.What could be done?

Answer:
When you shutdown your machine, eScan checks your floppy drive to see if a floppy has been accidently left & if so, checks the floppy's boot-sector for viruses. This check could be causing the problem.
To disable the check, go to eScan folder, edit the eupdate.ini file, set CheckFloppyOnReboot=0 and reset the PC after saving the file. This should solve your problem.

Client is using Novell Netware 4.11. All email comes in through Wingate proxy server located on Windows 2000 PRO system. If the workstations are protected with escan and the email server is protected does the netware server need a scanner for viruses?

Answer:
Netware Server does not need a scanner for Viruses. Install MailScan for Mail Servers on your Wingate Server and install eScan on the Workstations. This will ensure that all your Mails are scanned for Viruses and Virus does not enter your network.
You do not require a Scanner on the Netware Server. You can always scan the Netware volumes from the Workstations having eScan.Just map netware volume on the Workstation and scan these drives thru eScan.

My eScan clients are unable to recognize the eScan Server! The Server does make proper announcements & no errors are logged too. What should be done?

Answer:
Please check if you have some Software package like Norton Internet Security/ or Zone Alarm or similar softwares / products installed. These softwares stop UDP broadcast on ports being used by eScan Server and also stop eScan Server from acting like an FTP/HTTP server.

How can I configure my system to block eScan Popups?

Answer:
When eScan intercept a virus or downloads updates, it gives a popup. This might be sometimes annoying, for this reason, we have given a facility to block all popups.

Configuring Popup Block:

a. Run regedit.exe, Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicroWorld

Click here to refer "How to start the windows registry editor")

b. On the right hand side, select the DWORD
```
MWErrorMode = DWORD
```
You can specify the below DWORD value to block the related popups.

Stop all popup block = 1 (decimal)
Start all Web Protection popup = 2 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start all Avpmtray popup = 4 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start MailScan popup = 8 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start License related popup = 16 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start USB Popup = 32 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start Firewall popup = 128 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start trayicos popup = 256 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start trayicoc popup = 512 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start download.exe popup = 1024 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Start Application Control popup = 2048 (decimal)
- all other pop up will be stopped

Important Note:

If you want to start two or more popups together, then you need to add all the values for it to work.

For Example: Application Control popup value = 2048 & econceal firewall popup value = 128, then you have to add both of these values:
2048 + 128 = 2176 for Application Control popup and Firewall popup to work together.

Deploying from eScan Server to all clients:

a. On the eScan server, export registry entry
```
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicroWorld] 
```
as errormode.reg to the desktop.

(Ref: FAQ - How to take the backup of windows registry?)

b. Edit the errormode.reg with notepad. Only keep the following entries:
```
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicroWorld]

"MWErrorMode"=DWORD:00000001
```
Note: The data value of the MWErrorMode entry will depend upon the settings required
For Example: If you want to block all the pop-up except the USB pop-up, the value will be 20 (Hexadecimal) or 32 (Decimal).

c. Copy this file in C:\pub\update folder of the eScan server.

Now when the client computer takes the download from eScan server the errormode.reg will be downloaded and the changes will be applied to the eScan clients.

How can I change the port settings for my eScan server and deploy it using the eScan management console (EMC)?

Answer:
The eScan Server mainly uses three ports:
a. HTTP port - used to query for virus definition updates.

b. FTP port – used to deliver updates to client.

c. UDP port – used to broadcast announcement to its clients.

Note: You can change the eScan Server HTTP and FTP port settings in EMC.

To change the port settings for eScan server

a. Open eScan Management Console >> Go to Services, click on "Stop Announcement' and then shutdown the eScan management console.

b. Open the file Eserv.ini from the location C:\Program Files\eScan

c. Find the entry for FTPPort=xxxx and HTTPPort=xxxx

d. Change the port entries to the new desired value and save the file.

e. Start the eScan Management console, by Clicking on Start >> Program files >> eScan for Windows >> eScan management console.

One can deploy the port settings to the client.

To deploy the port settings use the below steps:

1. Open eScan Management Console >> Go to Services >> EMC settings >> check the box Enable Advanced Settings in ‘Deploy Rule – Sets’ wizard, if it is unchecked, this will enable Advanced feature while deploying. Close the window once done.

2. Then click on Services >> Deploy Rule – Set >> Create New Policy >> click Advanced >> Check the box “eScan Auto-Updater Settings” >> click Edit >> Add

3. For HTTP host add the value

http://<eScan-Server-IP>:<New HTTP port number>

Please note the Section & Keyname give in figure below must be selected.

4. For FTP host add the value
```
   ftp://<eScan-Server-IP>:<New FTP port number>
```
Please note the Section & Keyname give in figure below must be selected.

5. Deploy these setting on all clients.

Note: If clients are not getting updates after changing the port on server, we need to deploy the setting as described above & force the clients to take updates with the features available in EMC.

A vulnerability tool identifies MWAgent as a high security risk. It can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long command sent to the service (default port 2222/tcp)?

Answer:
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the MicroWorld Agent service (MWAGENT.EXE) when decrypting received commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long command sent to the service (default port 2222/tcp).
This vulnerability has been resolved in the latest hotfix and version 9.0.178.1 and later. MWAGENT.EXE is a gateway between eScan client and server. To avoid this vulnerability, we are using encrypted data format.

After Installing eScan, users/recepients receive a notification emails with :Subject: eScan found an email having Virus or objectionable content!
Email removed at the SMTP/POP3 Gateway for one of the following reasons.
1. It had a virus.
2. It had objectionable content.
3. The sender email-id was banned.
4. The email itself was corrupted.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

Answer:
This notification message received is by design in eScan.
When a mail is downloaded by an application (a mail-client like outlook express), it is scanned by eScan at the Transport Layer of the OSI and then delivered to the mail-client. During the scanning process, if the mail has any Restricted Attachments / Viruses, it is either deleted or forwarded to the Administrator by eScan. Since the mail-client has initiated and established the connection to download the mails from the Mail server, it has to receive a mail to complete the connection session. Hence, eScan has to generate this notification to avoid the application from being crashed.
A workaround to stop this message from being delivered to your INBOX, you can define a RULE-SET in the mail-clients that mails with the above subject should be deleted or moved to a predefines folder.

How to White-list a file blocked during proactive scanning?

Answer:
Proactive scanning is scanning of suspicious files that are in the process of execution, using an algorithm which checks for certain parameters and other details in the file. In the event when a file fails to pass the check, the file is assumed to be suspicious and is consequently blocked.

In order to white-list such a file, the following steps are to be followed:
1. Open the eScan Protection Center
2. Select the Endpoint Security module
3. Under Reports select View Report
4. In the Report for Endpoint Security window, look for entries with a red cross and the required filename under Application Name
5. Select the entry, right click and select Add to Whitelist
The file has now been whitelisted and will not be blocked in future when attempt is made to run it.

+<br><br>First, Install the latest eScan hotfix. <span class="plainlinks neverexpand"> [http://update6.mwti.net/download/tools/espatch1.exe <B>Click here to download the eScan Hotfix</B>]</span><br/><br>
+:a. Then, click on Start >> Programs >> eScan for Windows >> eScan Protection Center.<br/>
+:b. Click on File Anti-virus >> Settings >> Options. Expand the option "Enable backup" and click on "Minimum disk space(MB)"<br/>
+:c. The Default Value is 500 MB. Change the Value from 500 to any desired value.<br/>
+:d. Click on "Apply" then on "OK"<br/>
+'''Note:''' In above case when the hard disk drive has less than 500MB of free space, the Auto-Backup will stop.<br>
+<br><br>'''How to stop Auto-backup Feature (FBackUp)'''<br><br>
+To stop the Auto-Backup feature:<br><br>
+:a.  Click on Start >> Programs >> eScan for Windows >> eScan Protection Center,<br>
+:b.  Click on File Anti-virus >> Settings >> Options and UNCHECK the option "Enable backup",<br>

+<li>'''How can I configure my system to block eScan Popups?'''<span id="anchor50"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>When eScan intercept a virus or downloads updates, it gives a popup. This might be sometimes annoying, for this reason, we have given a facility to block all popups.
+<br><br>'''Configuring Popup Block:'''<br><br>
+a. Run '''regedit.exe''', Go to<br>
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicroWorld  <br>
+<div style="text-align: left;">[[Escan/english/eScan-FAQ/Microsoft-Windows#anchor1|<font color=“blue”>Click here to refer "How to start the windows registry editor"</font>]])</div><br>
+b. On the right hand side, select the DWORD<br>
+ MWErrorMode = DWORD<br>
+You can specify the below DWORD value to block the related popups.<br>
+::'''Stop all popup block = 1 (decimal)'''
+::'''Start all Web Protection popup = 2 (decimal)'''   <br>    - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start all Avpmtray popup = 4 (decimal)'''      <br>       - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start MailScan popup = 8 (decimal)'''	    <br>       - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start License related popup = 16 (decimal)'''	<br>   - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start USB Popup = 32 (decimal)'''		<br>           - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start Firewall popup = 128 (decimal)'''	<br>	   - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start trayicos popup = 256 (decimal)'''	<br>	   - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start trayicoc popup = 512 (decimal)'''	<br>   - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start download.exe popup = 1024 (decimal)'''	 <br>  - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+::'''Start Application Control popup = 2048 (decimal)'''  <br> - all other pop up will be stopped<br>
+<br><br>'''Important Note:'''<br><br>
+If you want to start two or more popups together, then you need to add all the values for it to work.<br>
+For Example: Application Control popup value = '''2048''' & econceal firewall popup value = '''128''', then you have to add both of these values:<br/> '''2048 + 128 = 2176''' for Application Control popup and Firewall popup to work together.<br>
+<br><br>'''Deploying from eScan Server to all clients:'''<br><br>
+a. On the eScan server, export registry entry <br><br>
+ [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicroWorld] <br>
+as '''errormode.reg''' to the desktop.<br>
+'''''(Ref: [[Escan/english/eScan-FAQ/Microsoft-Windows#anchor2 | FAQ - How to take the backup of windows registry?]])'''''<br><br>
+b. Edit the '''errormode.reg''' with notepad. Only keep the following entries:<br>
+ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br>
+ [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicroWorld]<br>
+ "MWErrorMode"=DWORD:00000001<br>
+'''Note:''' The data value of the MWErrorMode entry will depend upon the settings required<br/>
+For Example: If you want to block all the pop-up except the USB pop-up, the value will be 20 (Hexadecimal) or 32 (Decimal).<br><br>
+c. Copy this file in C:\pub\update folder of the eScan server.<br>
+Now when the client computer takes the download from eScan server the '''errormode.reg''' will be downloaded and the changes will be applied to the eScan clients.<br/><div style="text-align: right;">[[#topindex|<font color=“blue”>Back to Top</font>]]</div></li><br/>
+<li>'''How can I change the port settings for my eScan server and deploy it using the eScan management console (EMC)?'''<span id="anchor51"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>The eScan Server mainly uses three ports:

+<li>'''After Installing eScan, users/recepients receive a notification emails with :'''<B>Subject: eScan found an email having Virus or objectionable content!<br/>
+ Email removed at the SMTP/POP3 Gateway for one of the following reasons.<br>
+. It had a virus.<br>
+. It had objectionable content.<br>
+. The sender email-id was banned.<br>
+. The email itself was corrupted.<br/>
+ We apologise for any inconvenience.</B>
+<span id="anchor54"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>This notification message received is by design in eScan. <br>
+When a mail is downloaded by an application (a mail-client like outlook express), it is scanned by eScan at the Transport Layer of the OSI and then delivered to the mail-client. During the scanning process, if the mail has any Restricted Attachments / Viruses, it is either deleted or forwarded to the Administrator by eScan. Since the mail-client has initiated and established the connection to download the mails from the Mail server, it has to receive a mail to complete the connection session. Hence, eScan has to generate this notification to avoid the application from being crashed.<br>
+A workaround to stop this message from being delivered to your INBOX, you can define a RULE-SET in the mail-clients that mails with the above subject should be deleted or moved to a predefines folder.<br/><div style="text-align: right;">[[#topindex|<font color=“blue”>Back to Top</font>]]</div></li><br/>
