About XP SP2
Windows Security Center
With the release of
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (XP SP2), Microsoft is introducing a new
Control Panel application named Windows Security Center (WSC). WSC
includes a new system-tray icon and notification feature intended to ensure
each user is notified when their computer is not adequately
protected by anti-virus (AV) software, firewall protection software,
or the latest Internet Explorer (IE) updates. Many industry
observers and developers have expressed an opinion that the
anti-virus-sensing component will be the most complex, since it is
intended to check whether antivirus is installed, whether the AV
application is active, and whether the latest anti-virus definition
files (DEF files) have been applied.
CAV Users
MUST upgrade to 4.91 prior to upgrading to XP
SP2
In order to ensure Authentium’s Command Antivirus
(CAV) product is fully compliant to the extensive changes introduced
by Microsoft, it will be necessary for users of Microsoft Windows XP
Home or Professional Edition to ensure their version of CAV has been
upgraded or patched to the latest version of CAV. Please note
that ALL antivirus vendors have had to make changes to their products,
not just Authentium.
Taking the Right Steps
in the Right Order
If you are
considering upgrading to Microsoft Windows XP SP2, you must first
upgrade your Command Antivirus product to version 4.91 or 4.92 prior to installing the Microsoft
Windows XP SP2 upgrade. To verify the current version of CAV running
on your system, open the CAV application user interface and click on
menu item “Help” then “About” and the current version will be
displayed.
CAV version 4.92 adds functionality
Authentium’s CAV version 4.92 is fully-integrated and recognized by
Microsoft WSC. 4.92 is available for download now.
Single Users/SOHO Users Using Direct Internet Updates
For
single end users and small network users that update their CAV
directly from the Internet at Authentium’s Command Antivirus download pages (NOT
through a central local company server), the new version of CAV may
be downloaded by opening the CAV application and clicking on the
“Update Now” button, then selecting the applicable version or patch
to be applied. You may also visit our main download page at:
