Software Update: Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0.142
Schouw informs us of version 5.0.142 of the Russian anti-virus package. In addition to (compressed) files, Kaspersky Anti-Virus also scans incoming and outgoing e-mail for digital pathogens. The changelog announces the following changes:
Enhancements:
- Now OnDemand Scanner operates in SafeMode.
- The application can be installed/uninstalled in SafeMode.
- The name of a detected virus is displayed in MailChecker reports.
- Detailed reports are now generated for the MailChecker component.
- The application installed on laptops provides excellent support for power saving mode.
- The application supports PAE mode (compatibility with Windows XP SP2).
- The license key used with the previous version of the application can now be used with the new version if the application has been upgraded.
Known problems:
- When OnDemand Scanner is scanning messages containing RAR archives, an application error occurs on the Exchange server.
- The application is incompatible with the WinMagic application.
- When scanning extremely large files, the application “freezes” if someone tries to unload it from memory.
- OAS can occur when suspicious or warning objects are placed manually to the quarantine. The disinfected dialog box for the quarantined object is displayed.
- There are some non-localized messages (only in English) in the MailChecker module.
- The application does not prompt for password when scanning protected archives placed to the quarantine by the user.
- The MailChecker component works incorrectly with the Magic Mail Monitor application if the mail is collected at startup: message headers cannot be downloaded from the mail server (improper use of the POP3 protocol by the Magic Mail Monitor application).
