Creating eScan Rescue ISO Image File

You can then eradicate rootkits and file infectors that cannot be cleaned in the normal Windows® mode.

Once the eScan Rescue disk is downloaded, you can now also update it using this wizard.

Restoring Windows Default Settings

You can restore the Windows® operating system settings, such as desktop and background settings, to eliminate all the modifications made by a virus attack by using this button. eScan automatically scans your computer for viruses when you click this button and sets the system variables to their default values.

Uploading Samples

This feature helps you to submit the virus samples to the eScan support team. Click the Upload Samples link, if you want to upload the virus samples. When you click this link, a new web page opens, where you have to click the Samples option, click the Next >> button, fill up the details in the Submit a Ticket form, and then click Submit button.

Vaccinating USB devices

The USB devices are used for various purposes, but while using them you may not be aware that the system to which you are connecting is virus infected. When connected to such machines the USB devices also tend to get infected. So, to prevent such case, eScan 14 has introduced a feature wherein you can vaccinate USB device, whenever needed. Once vaccinated it stays protected even if you connect the flash drive to an infected system, it doesn’t become a carrier to infection.

By default, the Choose a USB Drive drop-down list and Vaccinate button appears dimmed. It is available only when you connect any USB device to your system.

To vaccinate, select an appropriate USB drive, which you want to vaccinate from the Choose a USB Drive drop-down list, and click the Vaccinate button.
