The VB100% Certified BitDefender Antivirus for Samba Servers has been
released - Giving Back to the Community

BitDefender for Samba Linux File Servers was upgraded to version 1.6.2
today, and parts of it have been released under an open-source license.
The antivirus for Samba shares is capable of scanning and disinfecting
shared files and folders on access and on demand, and can be installed
easily alongside BitDefender for Linux Mail Servers.

"We are releasing the Samba integration module (vfs) as open source for
two main reasons: first, and least important, because we want to provide
more choice to our customers: the module can be compiled against any
version of Samba, past and present. 

Second, we, as a company, have been using and profiting for long from
Open Source software, and I think it's high time to start giving back to
the community" declared Alexandru Balan, BitDefender Product Marketing
Manager.

BitDefender for Samba Linux File Servers has recently acquired a new
VB100% certification, just prior to the version change. It also has been
tested to work on all popular Linux distributions. A fully functional
evaluation version of BitDefender for Samba can be downloaded from
