Interface Guidance

 
It’s UI is both unintuitive and odd, eScan places icons for eScan Anti-Virus Monitor” and “eScan Updater” in the Notification Area. Right-clicking the Monitor icon does nothing, however, while double-clicking it calls up a screen which provides a limited amount of information and configuration options. Also double-clicking the Updater icon does nothing.But then more options could be accessed by right-clicking the Updater icon.
 

What We Found

 
We found that while installation eScan updated itself and the proceeded to run a brief scan during which it identified a number of valid system files as invalid and indicated that they had been removed. There was no prompt asking whether it was OK to remove the files; it simply reported that they had been removed.
