Beta-version 4.44 of Dr.Web Enterprise Suite released

December 10, 2007

Doctor Web, Ltd. launches beta-testing of the new version of Dr.Web Enterprise Suite - a solution for comprehensive protection of companies and enterprises.

The following changes have been done to the Dr.Web Enterprise Suite 4.44 agent:

• Windows Vista support has been implemented.
• The anti-spam filter has been added, the filter utilizes the VadeRetro technology which has already been implemented in Dr.Web solutions for Windows workstations and mail servers and has proven to be very efficient.
• Origins Tracing^™ technology of non-signature search is used. It is combined with a traditional signature scan and heuristic analysis. All objects detected using the new technology have the “.origin” extension in their names. The new technology significantly increases detection of unknown malicious programmes.
• The scanner of the agent also features an additional driver called Dr.Web Shield, it has been designed to counter rootkits. The driver is loaded automatically as the scanner is launched on an agent machine.
• Now it supports a mobile protection mode/ When an agent is not connected to a server, it still can be updated using Dr.Web Global Updating System. This may come in handy if you are going on a business trip

Dr.Web Enterprise Suite performs the following tasks:

• centralized installation (employees do not have to perform an installation) of anti-virus packages on protected computers (workstations and servers of a local area network);
• centralized configuration of anti-virus packages;
• centralized software and virus databases updates for protected machines;
• monitoring virus events and status of anti-virus packages and operating systems for all machines connected to an anti-virus server.

All programme management routines are performed by an administrator of an anti-virus network, so users do not need to install, configure or update.

Dr.Web Enterprise Suite is designed to run on various platforms. It can be installed on Windows machines, as well as on Unix machines. Now a number of supported OS has increased, the server supports the 64-bit architecture and is compatible with Sparc processor used for SUN servers.

To make it even more convenient for administrators the management console distribution is supplied separately from the basic package which makes it smaller and easier to install. The console also supports a wide range of platforms.

To join beta-testing of Dr.Web Enterprise Suite 4.44 you should register in the testers section of the web-site: beta.drweb.com. Registered beta-testers can download an installation package for a target OS in the file section of the web-site.
