a-squared Anti-Malware 4.0 final is available!Anti-Spyware + Anti-Virus! [NEW!]October 04, 2008
What's new in a-squared Anti-Malware 4.0?- Added a second scan engine for the Scanner and onExecution Guard. The second engine comes from our partner, the famous Austrian antivirus company Ikarus, and is a pure antivirus engine. We expect much better detection rates with the dual engine mode. Compared with two standalone programs, the performance and memory usage of our bundled version is much better. The second engine will be added later in a-squared Free too.
- Improved the a-squared scan engine: It loads 57% faster, uses 30% less RAM and scans 4% faster than v3.x.
- Added all latest Malware-IDS features of Mamutu 1.7: Such as ability to block single behavior patterns without the need to shut down the alerted program completely.
- Added a new surf protection feature with this major release. It is able to block connection attempts to known dangerous hosts, like Malware hosts, advertising hosts, exploiting hosts, fraudulent hosts, hijacking hosts, phising hosts, warez hosts and other unclassified malicious hosts. The surf protection also includes a cookie blocker.
- The graphical user interface (GUI) has been refreshed completely. A new menu item for Logging has been added too.
- Tons of minor tweaks and improvements to create a better usability.
Free for all customers of previous versions with valid licenses.
a-squared Anti-Malware 4.0 supports Windows XP, 2003 Server, Vista and 2008 Server. It does
no longer run on Windows 98, ME and 2000. 30-days trial available.
For all users of outdated operating systems, we have created a special a-squared Anti-Malware 3.5 for 9x Edition that is available on our download page. Users have to uninstall their existing version and download the new 9x Edition. We'll maintain that edition for a while, but not add any new features.
