a² Version 2.0

We'd like to inform all fellow a² users that all beta tests are underway and the new version of a² will be available soon. a² 2.0 will come with more unique features as originally planned and will dwarf all previous in Malware protection.

Latest worm alerts: Bagle.AO and Bagle.AN

Again, 2 new Bagle variants were seen in the wild. The files have 17924 resp. 18436 bytes and are packed. They spread like their predecessors via file sharing and email. You can read more about them in the a² Malware database:

Informative: The a² Online-Check

Unlike several online virus scanners which load a scanner module on your PC to check it for viruses, the a² Online-Check is a comprehensive security check which shows possible dangers in your PC configuration. Additionally it shows which information about you and your computer is available to the public. You will be surprised how much information anybody else accessing the internet can collect about you only by tracking your website-visit.

Here is the a² Online-Check:

For webmasters: The a² Security-Box

Display the a² news live on your own homepage! With only a few mouse clicks you can create your own unique news box and include it on your website. You can select the a² Security-Ticker alerts, interesting a² Knowledgebase articles and also the Malware Top-10 list.

Here you can get your a² Security-Boy for free:

New language: Spanish

By now, not only the a² software, also the full homepage including Forum, Control Center and support is available in Spanish, besides English, German and French. You can switch the page language at the right top of each page. If you want to have support in Spanish, please change the language of your a² account to Spanish at the Control Center.
