avast! Kerio Edition is a special version of avast! antivirus, designed exclusively to work with products developed by Kerio Technologies. avast! Kerio Edition works only as plug-in for Kerio products.

Currently, the Kerio Edition supports the following products:

• Kerio Mail Server
• Kerio WinRoute Firewall

Antivirus kernel

The latest version of avast! antivirus kernel features excellent detection capabilities, combined with high performance (data throughput). You can expect 100% detection of ITW viruses/worms (In-The-Wild, viruses already spreading) and excellent detection of Trojan horses.

The kernel is certified by ICSA, and frequently takes part in the tests of Virus Bulletin magazine, yielding the VB100% award multiple times.

Updater

Updater is the second component of avast! for Kerio. It provides for both a manual and fully automatic mode.

In manual mode, the user (administrator) has to perform the update by pressing the corresponding button in the user interface, or by running a special batch file.

The automatic mode downloads and installs the updates according to a preset time interval. The automatic updates are activated by default, with the time interval set to 4 hours. This interval is short enough to provide high level of protection on all occasions. Thanks to our technology of incremental updates, the size of the data transfer is very low. The typical size of virus database updates is in the tens of KB.

ALWIL Software performs virus database updates twice a week, or, in the case of serious new virus infections, immediately.

User interface

avast! for Kerio contains a simple user interface, offering you basic control of the program. Using this interface, you can also set the parameters for automatic updates.

It is important to note that avast! for Kerio does NOT contain a common scanner to search for viruses in the file system (either on demand or resident). avast! Server Edition is required if you need such a scanner.

Kerio product integration

avast! for Kerio is mainly a technology product - it does not perform any scanning itself. The scanning requests are given by the Kerio product - and it is necessary to configure Kerio accordingly (so that the system knows it should use avast!).

More information is available in the user guides and online help pages on the web of the Kerio Technologies Company.

These products work as a plug-ins for avast! Server Edition. Therefore, it uses the same high-performance, award-winning, ICSA-certified engine as the Server Edition itself, providing you with maximal protection.
