Today, we are pleased to announce the release of Technology Preview 3 of our upcoming product Linux Security 7.00. It has been a bit over month since we released Technology Preview 2. Last month we have concentrated on improving performance and quality of existing features. Some of the improvements are:

• The on-access scanner cache has been moved from the user-level scanning daemon to the Dazuko kernel module, significantly improving the overall performance for on-access scanning
• Alert screen in Web User Interface has a button for displaying a printable version of the alerts
• A GUI program fsgav has been introduced for scanning files and testing integrity
• It is now possible to specify default directories for manual scanning and scheduled scanning tasks. These directories are used in Web User Interface when using the Manual Scanning Wizard or creating a new Scheduled Scanning Task.

The same disclaimer applies as with the last two Technology Previews, even though stability should have improved: preferably test this in a virtual machine environment or a non-critical machine that you don’t mind crashing. This Technology Preview supports upgrade from Linux Server Security 5.30 and later, but it should only be used for testing purposes.

You can download the package here: f-secure-linux-security-7.00.6395.tgz (MD5, SHA1). Please read the release notes and send us feedback to the e-mail address at the bottom of this page!
