Airscanner Corp. is pleased to announce the private beta release of
Airscanner Mobile Antivirus 2.7 beta. You can download it here:

This is a private release that is only for current Airscanner users who are
interested in testing the feature upgrades.
 
New in 2.7 beta:
 
1. MANUAL VIRUS SCANNER:
- Folder selection before scanning: Many of you asked for more granular
filesystem scanning, so we added it. One user reports that he was scanning a
20 GB external drive through USB from his poor little Pocket PC! This new
feature will allow you to focus only on the folders you want.
 
- File type selection: As requested, you now have granular control over
which filetypes you want to scan. For example, you may choose to scan only
.exe files, or you may want to scan Pocket Word documents only.
 
2. REAL-TIME VIRUS SCANNER:
- Added improvements to the real-time scanning engine.
 
3. BACKGROUND "SLOW" VIRUS SCANNER
- The background "slow" filesystem scanner is now disabled by default, but
you can enable it, if you like, for triple protection. This will be phased
out as real time scanning is improved in future generations of Airscanner
Mobile Antivirus. And to save battery and RAM, most users will prefer to use
only manual scanning as needed, since there are currently no known CE
malware in the wild.
4. STRING/BINARY FINDER:
- UNICODE or ASCII string search: You now have the option to search (grep)
your filesystem for unique strings in either ASCII or UNICODE (the Pocket PC
stores ASCII as UNICODE). And this is not simple search tool...it actually
performs a byte-level hex scan inside of ALL files, including binaries. So
security researchers can even develop their own custom virus or malware
signatures.
 
5. TASK MANAGER:
Our improved task manager means you don't have to pay for a 3rd party task
manager program (since Windows Mobile doesn't have a built in task manager).
 
Remember that all Airscanner software is 100% free for personal
(non-commercial) use!
 
***Note: Airscanner Corp has discovered several new malware attacks against
Windows CE/Windows Mobile, which we have been invited to reveal at the
prestigious Black Hat security conference this summer in Las Vegas. Stay
tuned for more details.
