Ikarus antivirus engine is an important component especially in Emsi Software products. It is present in Anti-Malware, Emergency Kit and Commandline Scanner. It just received an update, which strengthens its protection on the behavior detection front.

However, this area is not the only one receiving improvements, as it adds PDF CCITTFax decoder, can handle PDF XFA exploits.

Improvements related to behavior detection, which should catch more malware in the latest release of the aforementioned products. Also, there has been added a new behavior in ScanBufferForKnownHeaders for JPEG and PNG files and now only the beginning of the file is scanned.

Additional work includes improved simulation, as jumps or calls into other areas are now replicated.

Feel free to download Emsisoft Anti-Malware, Emsisoft Emergency Kit and Emsisoft Commandline Scanner.
