Welcome to eScan Wikipedia

Q. I see a lot of disk space occupied by eScan “FBackUp” folder in my C: Drive. How can I Control it ?

A. FBackUp folder is an auto-backup of all the executable files scan by eScan in encrypted format where eScan is installed.

You can control the FBackUp folder by

1.Stopping the auto-backup of files

1.Click on Start >> Run

2.Type regedit

3.Select the location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> MicroWorld

4.On the right hand side select the file DWBackUpX

5.Right click on DWBackUpX,

6.Select Modify

7.Change the Value Data from 1 to 0

8.Click OK

9.Close the registry editor window

2.Restrict the FBackUp folder size

1.Click on Start >> Run

2.Type regedit

3.Select the location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> MicroWorld

4.On the right hand side select the file DWMinDiskSpaceRequiredMB

5.Right click on DWMinDiskSpaceRequiredMB

6.Select Modify

7.Change the Value Data from 500 (Decimal) to a lower Decimal value

8.Click OK

9.Close the registry editor window

3.Changing the default FBackUp location

1.Click on Start >> Programs >> eScan for Windows >> eScan Protection Center

2.Click on Protection >> File Anti-Virus >> Settings >> Options

3.Expand the link “For quarantining of infected objects”

4.Double click “Use Folder name”

5.By Default the path is C:\Program Files\eScan\Infected. eScan will automatically create FBackUp in C:\Program Files\eScan\FBackUp

6.Change this path to D:\Infected, then the FBackUp folder will automatically be created in D:\FBackUp
