The new minor auto-upgrade for Outpost's anti-virus engine was scheduled for the end of the current week. It will be delivered during June 1-4 to all our customers.

The new anti-virus engine carries the internal version number 5.5.1.3 (previous one was 5.5.0.4) and works only with the new malware database format (v15), to be updated simultaneously.

Main changes in June's upgrade:

significantly decrease both the memory consumption of the virus database and the size of the individual database files on the disc,
as a result of this development the memory requirement of the loaded database decreased by approximately 20%.

Other changes since April's upgrade:

Fixed crash occurred on hacked UPX samples on x64 platform.
Some kind of malware may have not been detected by the x64 version of the engine (though x86 version could detect them).

Also, the support for loading a minimal database set was added (to provide protection for machines with very low memory).
