Astaro Patterns: Controlling Conficker Worm
April 6, 2009
With the recent attention in the media to the Conficker Worm, many customers have general questions regarding this threat. For the short version, Astaro installations with HTTP Virus protection via the Web Security package have been protected against the HTTP download distribution (such as variant C) of this worm since January.
However, with this Worm's ability to spread multiple ways, such as the TCP and UDP transfer of the payload, Virus scanning at the gateway should be bolstered by Intrusion Protection to offer a more complete security defense against Conficker. Read on for details as to how Astaro can aid you in fighting this worm!

Up2Date 7.400 Status Report
March 5, 2009
Thank you for your patience regarding our 7.400 Up2Date release.
During the 3-day window where the Up2Date was available we had a small number of cases where the upgrade process took longer than was acceptable. To spare other users from experiencing this issue, we decided to withdraw the Up2Date. We have identified the cause of the problem and, assuming testing goes according to expectations, we'll re-release 7.400 in the course of next week.
We will keep you informed via this blog with any other news or developments.
