Kaspersky Labs offers new Linux/Unix anti-virus software

Kaspersky Labs Ltd., a Moscow security software developer, has released a new version of its anti-virus software for mail servers running on Linux and Unix operating systems. The software, Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux/Unix Mail Servers Version 5.0, offers several new features, including the ability to check all e-mail data streams centrally in real time, the company said in a statement earlier this week.

With this function, the anti-virus program is able to search for and neutralize malicious code in all objects passing through the server, ensuring that only data confirmed to be safe is delivered to client computers, Kaspersky said.

The system supports FreeBSD, Open BSD and popular versions of Linux.
