1. Kaspersky Lab begins beta testing of three new versions of Kaspersky
Anti-Virus for Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management
solutions, announces the launch of beta testing of three new versions of
KasperskyR Anti-Virus, designed to protect email and file servers,
as well as workstations, running on the Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD
operating systems - Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and
OpenBSD Mail Server, Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and OpenBSD
File Server and Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and OpenBSD
Workstations.
The programs allow for the effective detection and neutralization of
malicious code in all objects on a file server, workstation and mail
server, which includes a user friendly process of automatic updates from
the antivirus database, as well as a flexible antivirus configuration
program.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and OpenBSD Mail Server, File
Server and Workstation contain a range of functions, including the
scanning of all incoming and outgoing SMTP traffic, which neutralizes
malware in infected messages, while providing configuration options for
filtering mail according to predefined rules.
Kavmonitor, (on-access scanner), a totally new component, supports
real-time system scanning, and identifies and quarantines all suspicious
objects, thereby minimizing the likelihood of malware infiltration of a
network. In the updated version it is possible to choose between three
types of antivirus databases - standard, expanded and super secure
sets Riskware, (i.e., adware, legal software that has been used by
hackers and other potentially hazardous programs) are detected using the
latter two options.
New technologies have been implemented for antivirus database update and
application module downloads (including integrity and usability checks
for downloaded databases). This reduces network traffic and improves
product performance.
A number of innovations have noticeably improved productivity for the
Workstation and File Server solutions. The iChecker technology first
introduced by Kaspersky Lab for Windows products is now available for
Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD as well. iChecker implements check-summing to
ensure antivirus scanning only for modified files, which significantly
decreases system load. The improved system scanning decreases system
load by 30 to 40% during startup, and when real-time antivirus
monitoring is enabled. Moreover, the option to scan the file system in
background mode decreases system load even further. System
administrators will appreciate the improved management options, such as
simplified installation and de-installation procedures. Specifically, it
is possible to import settings from older versions of Kaspersky
Anti-Virus (4.0 or 5.0) when installing Version 5.5. Administrators can
now create backup directories to store suspicious and infected objects
until they decide whether to disinfect or delete them.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD Mail Server is
closely integrated with the Workstation and File Server solutions, and
contains the same new functionalities. However, the Mail Server specific
components have also been upgraded.
For example, the licensing module for Mail Server now updates the list
of licensed users automatically. Administrators can also now maintain
statistics on malware penetration via the built-in Webmin interface.
Statistics are generated graphically and it is possible to create
reports on the types of malware detected during specified intervals.
