Updates MicroWorld has released a new auto-backup/restore feature within eScan   Backup of files having extension EXE, DLL, OCX, SYS, DRV and CPL will be take. Backup (by default) will be taken only of files having size less than 14MB. And it will take of those files having a version number. Backup will be kept in encrypted format in the folder where eScan is installed. Backups will be taken ONLY if the drive has over 500MB free disk space.
