# '''What is Rule-Set?'''<span id="anchor1"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>Rule-Set are set of rules defined within eScan.<br/><B>For Example:</B><br/> If you define a rule that any file with the name '''KAK.HTA''' should be deleted.<br/>eScan will detect this file and if found will delete it.
<br/><div style="text-align: right;">[[#topindex|<font color=“blue”>Back to Top</font>]]</div><br/><ol start="2">
<li>'''How does Rule-Set gets updated?'''<span id="anchor2"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>Whenever we confirm the existence of a new Virus (or a Worm, etc) in the form of a standard filename, we update the Rule-Set on the Internet Server. So, when eScan connects to Internet to download the latest updates, it even updates the Rule-Set. <br/><div style="text-align: right;">[[#topindex|<font color=“blue”>Back to Top</font>]]</div></li><br/>
<li>'''Can I manually configure Rule-Set to meet my requirement?'''<span id="anchor3"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>'''Yes''', you can configure the Rule-Set to meet your requirement.<br/><div style="text-align: right;">[[#topindex|<font color=“blue”>Back to Top</font>]]</div></li><br/>
<li>'''Can I install eScan on a Standalone PC?'''<span id="anchor4"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>Yes. For this, you need to install Professional Edition of eScan (version 9) or eScan SOHO/Home Edition rather than the Corporate Edition / Enterprise (version 9 or 10) or SMB/SME edition (version 10).<br/><div style="text-align: right;">[[#topindex|<font color=“blue”>Back to Top</font>]]</div></li><br/>
<li>'''Is there more than one type of eScan?'''<span id="anchor5"></span><br/><br/>'''Answer:'''<br/>
