Hi,

 

I was just testing this version with the basic testing at AMTSO website.

It detected all the compressed malware formats except the "ACE" format.

 

Can you look into it?

 

Also what all scanning engines are used in this version and how is the protection when OFFLINE (i mean are the definitions stored locally on the Mac?)

 

Thanks.

Hi Pankaj1,

 

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

ACE is not an widely used compression format these days, also as soon as the files are uncompressed, Real Time scanning will detect if there are any harmful files, so users are still protected.  I will forward the request to the team, and decide accordingly whether to include it or not.

 

 

Mac client uses Hydra scanning engine & Security clould capabilities to protect the against harmful files.

During offline only Hydra scanning engine capabilities are used,  Hydra database defnitions are stored locally, the detections in Hydra database define the way Hydra scanning engine detects the bad samples/viruses.

 

Thanks,

Mac Team

Thanks for the reply.

 

Can you point me to any whitepaper/technical details of the various scanning and zero-day detection engines used by the F-Secure (Windows as well as the Mac version). I would love to see some technical details of the Hydra Engine as well as the other engines which are employed by the strongly capable F-Secure. As you have already pointed out, the Mac version only has the Hydra but I would appreciate the details on the windows version as well (since I am planning on buying both for my Mac and PC.)

 

Thanks.

Pankaj.

Hi,

 

When are you planning on adding the "Right Click Scan" option in the context menus? It is very inconvenient to do a custom scan every time.
