AVG for Linux/FreeBSD is also being upgraded to bring the product into line with the 8.5 range.

The new AVG 8.5 for Linux/Free BSD product will offer:

  • New, streamlined scanning engine with heuristic emulator, expanded detection within archive files, runtime unpackers, and improved malware detection
  • New AVG-developed REDIRFS-based on-access scanner
  • Dedicated process for every scan significantly improves reliability
  • Improved diagnostics tools and logging provide greater control and tenability
  • Improved system resource handling through shared memory usage
  • Support for new multi-core CPUs and for multi-CPU architecture
  • Support for 64-bit architecture
  • A fully modular solution, isolating required restarts to affected modules in case of problems

AVG 8.5 Server Edition for Linux/FreeBSD provides protection for both e-mail and file servers in a single distribution package, robust enough to support millions of e-mails a day.

Support for the following products will be phased out on April 30, 2009 so we recommend you plan to upgrade your customers to the new version as soon as it becomes available:

  • AVG 7.5 Anti-Virus for Linux/FreeBSD
  • AVG 7.5 File Server Edition for Linux/FreeBSD
