F-Secure Anti-Virus for Workstations 8.00 now supports Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit versions for the full product. - Improved real-time scanning performance on removable drives
Enhanced logic of scanning to enable faster scanning for large files that reside on removable drives. - Updated scanning report to elaborate what happens
Scanning report has been updated to explain in more detail why certain files have been skipped. - Faster spyware removal
Spyware removal is significantly faster with this release. While previously the spyware scan was reinitiated with removal, now the scanning maintains information about its state. - Reduced memory consumption
The product has now been optimized to use less memory. There is a significant decrease in the amount of memory consumed. This shows as improved overall performance. - Updated identification and removal of conflicting programs (sidegrade)
Sidegrade has been updated to include more common conflicting products, and cleaned from the unnecessary removals that would not cause conflict with our software. - New manual database installation tool
A new tool for updating protection databases manually, called fsdbupdate, installs all the latest database updates for customers with a valid subscription. - Remote Application List for System Control
Administrator can configure System Control to deny or allow applications remotely with Policy Manager. - Notification flyer for scheduled scans
A flyer will appear when a scheduled scan starts. Opening the flyer link will produce a dialogue that allows the scan to be aborted. Another flyer will appear when the scheduled scan ends, linking to a dialogue that allows the scanning report to be viewed. Flyer history will show past occurrences of the scheduled scan notification flyers. - Includes all hotfix packages since F-Secure Anti-Virus for Workstations 7.10 release
