Compatibility

• The Antivirus (Classic) 1.4 module requires VSA 6.2 or 6.3.
• When installed in VSA 6.3 or later, Antivirus (Classic) 1.4 provides integration with LAN Cache.

Support for Two Kinds of Workstation Profiles

There are two types of workstation profiles supported in this release: version 2010 and version 6. 2010 is the legacy version. Each installs a corresponding client version on the endpoint. Version 6 is strongly recommended. A 2010 workstation profile can only enable or disable the default configuration for a protection component. You can upgrade a 2010 workstation endpoint to version 6 using the Install > Upgrade Client Version button on the Control Panel.

LAN Cache

LAN Cache is a new feature introduced with VSA v6.3 that enables multiple machines to retrieve the same files from a local LAN machine instead of repeatedly downloading them from the Kaseya Server. This reduces network bandwidth issues. In VSA v6.3 and later the files downloaded for Antivirus (Classic) v1.4.1 endpoints—install packages, updates and antivirus definitions—use LAN Cache automatically, if LAN Cache is already configured for those endpoints. No additional configuration in Antivirus (Classic) v1.4.1 is required. See VSA v6.3 > Agent > LAN Cache for more information.
