eScan - Antivirus & Content Security Forum

I'm not sure whether it's due to version 10 being somwhere in the region of post-beta to release candidate, but could you please re-invent a version for home users and also for small businesses without firewall?

All recent installations I've either made myself or supported showed that eConceal slowed machines down considerably, only accepted manual zone rules with IP-adress-range / subnet being very strictly class-C and led to deactivating eConceal in Windows Services to get rid of it and return machines to an acceptable performance.

Please bring us back something like the VC-Edition. Most small businesses and even home users I support use routers with built-in hardware-firewalls, which in the very most cases makes eConceal unnecessary.

Thanks for at least considering this.

Hi Kuron,

same here - still with v10.0.1009.570... I disabled it in the settings, but it still uses a high amount of CPU Power in taskmanager. Very annoying!

I agree. In many installation I recommend disabling the firewall.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can install the new build with "/nofw" command line parameter which will NOT install the eScan firewall while installing eScan.
e.g. if you have iwn2k3ek.exe then install "iwn2k3ek.exe /nofw" from command prompt and then let the installation complete.This will install eScan without firewall.

The settings will be all grayed out in the eScan protection Center->Firewall section.

If you want you can then manually add the firewall with the commands given on below url.

Thanks for that.
It would also be nice to have the question asked during the standard install.

Thanks,
Joan
