This is a beta release of Linux Security 64. This release introduces a new on-access scanner for continuous protection against viruses and potentially unwanted applications. In addition, Linux Security 64 features a system integrity checker for protection against unauthorized system modifications. The product also supports manual scanning of files.
Linux Security 64 supports the following Linux distributions:
Linux Security 64 requires the following packages to be installed before installing the product:
Installing Linux Security 64 happens by first creating an installation package using Policy Manager and installing the product from the newly-created installer on the target machine.
Please, note that you will need the Policy Manager version 14.20 to be able to install and manage Linux Security 64.
Configure the Policy Manager Server to use F-Secure beta GUTS2 server:
systemctl stop fspms
./var/opt/f-secure/fspms/data/guts2/
./etc/opt/f-secure/fspms/fspms.conf
and add -Dguts2ServerUrl=http://guts2tp.sp.f-secure.com
to additional_java_args config parameter.systemctl start fspms
Create the installation package:
Copy the exported zip file to the Linux host in your network.
Install the product:
bash f-secure-linuxsecurity/f-secure-linuxsecurity-installer
You can uninstall the product from the command line.
rpm -e f-secure-linuxsecurity
dpkg -r f-secure-linuxsecurity
We will be very disappointed if you can't install and use the command line client without having a Policy Manager. What we do is install the single client and programmatically do manual command line scans on the server (then we process and store the output from the scanner). We don't need on-access or integrity checking functionality (surely this can be turned off?). I hope it will be possible to purchase single licenses like before.
At the moment of release, it will not be possible to use LS64 with no PM.
Soon after, it might be possible, but to prepare installer you will have to use PM at least once.
Also, we are not going to have cheap command-line only license any more, it is bad business for us. You will have to purchase Client or Server Edition.
For the use case of "just scanning", we are going to release new version of Scanning and Reputation Server/Service that can be used unattended.
Thanks for the reply. If we have to get the PM and Server license, it doesn't matter so much, as long as we are able to use the command line client as before (i.e. turn off on-access and read stdout/stderr and exit codes from the command line client ).

Dear Sirs,
I would like to understand how this tiny, 3MB sized "F-Secure 64 for Linux Security" package is able to meet or exceed the anti-virus and other protective capabilities of the previous, almost 200MB sized "FSAV Linux Security 11.10.68" package?
Thanks in advance, Yours Sincerely:
Tamas Feher, Hungary.
