F-Secure uses KAV engine?

Is true that F-Secure uses the KAV engine? How can I check this out?

 

f-secure does use KAV engine.

 

short answer - yes
long answer - yes, plus 2 more. 'orion' and 'libra'. One is their own engine. The other is a licensed f-prot clone.

edit ::: wrong!!! see below.

 

i thought f-secure stopped using f-prot. does this mean either libra or orion actually is f-prot using the fprot engine and definitions?

 

Check out here that F-Secure uses a modified KAV(AVP) engine.

It also uses 2 "in-house" engines; Orion and Libra. The older versions of F-Secure used the F-Prot engine but not anymore.

1. AVP engine.
-Originally developed by Kapersky
-Traditional engine based on virus signatures.
-Strong on 32-bit viruses.


2. Libra engine.
-Developed by F-Secure corporation.
-Traditional engine based on virus signatures.
-Strong on macro viruses.


3. Orion engine.
-Developed by F-Secure corporation.
-Heuristic engine that detects only 32-bit file viruses.
-Signature files used to handle false alarms.

 

thanks for clarification
