Select: Escan Anti-Virus Review

“Escan has kept my dad's laptop relatively clean. Or so...”

Escan has kept my dad's laptop relatively clean. Or so he was told by the IT guys at his workplace. But, of late, the laptop, an HP Pavilion running Windows 7 Pro, takes over 5 minutes to boot! Yes, 5+ minutes! I cleaned the laptop with the usual tweaks & tools. No change. Uninstalled EScan. Then installed Avira which I've been running on my own PC for a while now with zero problems. The laptop booted in under 2 minutes, which is an improvement. :) I'm running a full system scan as I type this and Avira has already made 15 detections. In summary, I wouldn't recommend EScan. It probably worked for a few other people but I'd never install EScan on any computer I work on.
