eScan, one of the leading Information Security solution providers that offers proactive protection against viruses, spam, trojan and many other information security threats announces the launch of its latest version for protection of Linux systems – eScan for Linux version 3.0, a complete and one of a kind antivirus solution for both Linux desktops and file servers.

eScan for Linux Version 3.0 comes with an improved antivirus engine that is capable of quicker scanning and better detection of the latest threats. It can read inside the data stream and virtually scans all types of files; including zipped and archived files to detect threats. It allows the user to run preset action like disinfect the file or delete the infected file or rename it or prompt for action.  It also provides the option to schedule for automatic scanning and downloading of the updates.

As Mr. Govind Rammurthy, CEO & Managing Director, eScan puts it, “With the increased penetration of Linux as an alternate Operating System, attacks on Linux based systems have increased considerably.  This latest version of eScan for Linux systems aims at being the ultimate answer to protecting Linux systems from the ever increasing Information Security threats.”
