2 1. CENTRALIZED ADMINISTRATION: ADMINSECURE 1.1. Cmpatibility with previus versins f AdminSecure The functinal changes described here have been incrprated int the prducts Panda Security fr Desktps and Panda Security fr File Servers. These new prduct versins will be cmpatible with AdminSecure 4.04.XX and 4.05.XX. 2. PANDA FOR DESKTOPS (2000/XP/VISTA/WIN7) AND PANDA FOR FILE SERVERS (2000/2003/2008): CHANGES COMMON TO BOTH PRODUCTS 2.1. Prtectin imprvements Clud-based scanning Panda Security fr Desktps and Panda Security fr File Servers incrprate clud-based scanning. These are the characteristics f this type f scanning: There will be a malware cache that will expire after 24 hurs. Clud queries wn t have a digital gdware signature cache. The clud scans will be able t classify items as suspicius. All cnfiguratin parameters must be btained frm ne r mre cnfiguratin files. Scheduled scans will als make use f lcal signatures. All executable files will be scanned frm the clud; there will be n limit n the types f files. Exclusins n the basis f reclassificatin f suspicius items will last fr ne mnth. It will be pssible t scan flders recursively (as at present), and nn-recursively (new feature). Memry scan The memry scan will scan the same items as at present. The scan will be launched every 2 hurs. Hwever, if the cmputer cannt send queries t the clud (either because it is disabled r there is n Internet cnnectin), it wn t be launched every 2 hurs. It will be launched with the frequency established prir t the inclusin f clud scans. Everything that exists in memry will be scanned using the cache knwledge s as nt t launch clud scans n items that are already identified. High-risk flder scan 2/9

3 By high-risk flders we mean thse flders that Panda Security has identified as typical malware cntainers. Panda Security cnsiders the fllwing high-risk flders shuld be scanned: The rt directry f all lcal drives The prfile f all lgged-in users The system temprary flder The Windws flder (nn-recursively) The System32 flder The scan will take place every 24 hurs. If the cmputer cannt send queries t the clud (either because it is disabled r there is n Internet cnnectin), the scans will be perfrmed every 48 hurs using the signature file. Exclusins. The fllwing wn t be scanned: Active users recycle bins On servers, these scans will wrk as fllws: They will be perfrmed nce a week. If the cmputer cannt send queries t the clud, they will be perfrmed nce every tw weeks. Shared drives wn t be scanned Disabling clud-based scans Yu can disable the clud-based scans using the registry keys. It is nt pssible, hwever, t d s frm the AdminSecure Cnsle. Yu can disable: Memry scans. Backgrund scans. Clud queries as a whle. 3/9

4 Checking trusted digital signatures in suspicius items detected We have imprved the sensitivity f the heuristic engine used by the file permanent prtectin and ndemand scans f Panda Security fr Desktps and Panda Security fr File Servers. On-demand scanning When, in an n-demand scan, a suspicius item is detected in a signed file, the signature will be cntrasted with the Panda Security trusted digital signature file. This checking is synchrnus (it takes place at the time f detectin): If the detected file has a trusted digital signature, it wn t be reprted as suspicius r sent t quarantine. If the detected file DOESN T have a trusted digital signature, it is reprted as suspicius and sent t quarantine. File permanent prtectin The prgrams als check the digital signature f suspicius items detected by the file permanent prtectin. The gdware cache will be cntinuusly used and fed with new data, if there is any, after each update f the signature file. 1:N signatures Bth prtectins include detectin f suspicius items using 1:N signatures Cmpatible with Micrsft Office 2010 Panda fr Desktps and Panda fr File Servers are cmpatible with all Micrsft Office 2010 extensins. The ptin t scan all Office dcuments, available in the antivirus settings fr Windws desktps and servers in the AdminSecure cnsle, lets yu scan Office 2010 dcuments: 4/9

5 2.3. Detectin f malware run frm a pen drive (ExFAT file system) Panda fr Desktps and Panda fr File Servers detect malware in any ExFAT frmatted drive, fr example, a pen drive. The file permanent prtectin detects malware accessed frm this type f drive. On-demand scans f ExFAT flders r drives detect all types f malware except rtkits Bugs crrected Incmpatibility prblems with the SecMaker NetID sftware Incmpatibility prblems installing the prducts shield n HP Prliant G6 servers. A blue screen was displayed after upgrading Panda fr Desktps t versin Permanent prtectin cunters were nt restarted n clicking the Reset cunters buttn. Items were nt manually deleted frm the quarantine r when they exceeded the day limit t be autmatically deleted. 5/9

6 Memry blckage n launching an n-demand scan f All My Cmputer. Occasinally, n disabling the TruPrevent and NetwrkSecure prtectin, they kept n running. When Panda fr Desktps was updated t versin /15 the shared files culd nt be accessed. When a scan was scheduled the status was nt updated. File lading t an NLB server was very slw. Errr cde 2101 ccurred n updating the signature file n wrkstatins. Prblems ccurred n receiving a warning with Curier Mail Server TruPrevent and Netwrk Secure executin errrs. 3. PANDA FOR DESKTOPS (2000/XP/VISTA/WIN7): NEW FEATURES 3.1.
