A-Squared Anti-Malware 2.5 BETA Released
Available through the beta online update.
New and improved features:
Non admin support: The whole application can be run with limited rights now, but it is still capable of scanning all folders on the disk and watch all running programs, because the scan functionality was moved to a Windows Service that runs with system rights.
Vista support: a-squared Anti-Malware now runs also on Vista 32. Important note for Vista users: If you install the version 2.1 setup, you have to run a-squared Anti-Malware with admin rights (Right click - Run as admin). Otherwise the updater will not be able to update to version 2.5 beta!
Decreased memory consumption: The average RAM usage has been decreased for about 50%!
New Anti-Malware Network: Detected heuristic files can be sent to the Anti-Malware Network for further analysis. This helps us to improve the scanner quality with the power of heuristics. False alerts can be quickly fixed and signatures for new malware can be provided much faster. You can choose to automatically deliver detected heuristic files (only heuristic files) at the update process, or manually transfer files via the quarantine. If you have a question to a specific file, you can enter a message and contact details to get a reply with a file analysis.
New rights management: Administrators can configure permissions for each single user on the local PC or Active Directory.
Extended cookie scan: The new scanner scans all user accounts for Tracking Cookies instead of only the current user account.
Extended Quarantine: Files can be manually added to the quarantine. Quarantined files can be saved to a specific folder, e.g. to send them by email, as zipped secured file.
Extended Malware-IDS: Autoruns The IDS is now able to alert newly created autoruns and the according program which tries to create the autorun.
Extended Malware-IDS: Hosts The IDS is now able to alert hosts file changes. This is not new, but the new version is able to report the application which tries to edit the hosts file too.
Extended Malware-IDS: Hidden installs The IDS now alerts hidden installation attempts of programs.
Extended Malware-IDS: Virus watch The IDS now alerts programs that try to edit (patch) other executable files, like viruses do.
Extended Malware-IDS: Rootkits The IDS now detects hidden rootkit processes.
Improved user interface: The guard settings have been split into two separate menu items: Guard and Settings. That avoids horizontal scrolling at the tabs.
Improved a-squared HiJackFree: The system analysis and configuration tool was extended a lot. A detail changelog containing all HiJackFree changes will be posted in an extra thread.
