Virus Blocker

[hdallen55]

With the upcoming addition of Kaspersky, will there still be two AV products available? One in the free version (ClamAV, I assume?) And Kaspersky as the 2nd AV available as a subscription? Just putting together an announcement for our clients on some of the new things we'll be offering in the upcoming year - Untangle is going to be part of a package - and I want to make sure I have the correct features.

Thanks,

Kaspersky will be replacing Hauri as the underlying application in the Dual Virus Blocker. It will be available on a subscription basis.

What about the users already paying for Hauri ?

Thanks mdh. Just to clarify, ClamAV will still be a part of the package? There will still be dual AV engines available?

ClamAV will still be underneath the Virus Blocker. Hauri is being replaced by Kaspersky in the Dual Virus Blocker. Dual Virus Blocker is available as a paid subscription. Any payments received for the regular virus blocker go towards beer.

Hauri will be automatically replaced by Kaspersky if automatic updates are turned on.

That's what I was looking for. Guess I'm going to have to chip in on the beverage fund before too much longer!

If you are a subscriber of Hauri, we will automatically roll you over to the new Kaspersky.

Is that happening in 5.1 or are you planing to do it now ? I have my automatic updates disabled.

Looks like 5.1.
