  AVP  �berrascht  mich  immer  mehr. Nachdem sie schon in der Windows
  Welt einer der besten Virenscanner-hersteller sind, haben sie gerade
  einen weiteren Coup gelandet.

Kaspersky Lab announces AVP for Linux

Moscow, Russia, March 5, 1999 -- Kaspersky Lab, a leading 
European anti-virus software development company, today introduced 
the first public beta-version of AntiViral Toolkit Pro (AVP) for
the Linux operating system. 

Linux is very popular amongst a growing circle of computer 
professionals. Reliable integrated systems for anti-virus 
protection were not available for Linux until recently.
Kaspersky Lab is among the first companies to develop a 
professional anti-virus system for the Linux platform. 

AVP for Linux is based on the world-famous, powerful AVP Engine. 
The AVP Engine is licensed for use in anti-virus products of 
well-known software companies such as Data Fellows (Finland), 
G-Data (Germany), Vintage Solutions (Japan). Its excellence is
confirmed by numerous awards AVP received from many 
international magazines and virus research centres. 

AVP for Linux provides reliable protection from more 
than 26 000 known computer viruses and malicious code including 
polymorphic, stealth, script, macro-viruses and trojan horses. 
The currently available AVP version also includes support for 
most of the popular archiving and packing formats, Email 
attachment formats. In addition AVP has advanced heuristics to 
find many new, not yet known viruses. 

AVP supports the most used Linux platform - Linux Intel.

AVP for Linux' distinction is the compatibility with AVP 
versions for other platforms - they all share the same set of 
antivirus databases. This feature provides Linux users
with an anti-virus security level equal to users of commercial 
operating systems. 

The now available beta-version includes the anti-virus scanner. 
Users can download the must current common platform antivirus 
database-set seperately as described on our web-sites. AVP is 
usually updated weekly, so don't forget to check back
often. 

Considering the principles of Linux distribution, Kaspersky Lab 
made the decision to distribute AVP for Linux on the same terms. 
Everyone can obtain the latest version of this product from our 
World Wide Web sites http://www.avp.ru, http://www.avp.ch, 
http://www.avp.com.

AVP for Linux is completely free of charge

Kaspersky Lab is a fast-growing European company with offices 
in Moscow, Russia and Dublin, Ireland. Having started our business 
in 1992 we concentrate our efforts in development of
