openSUSE 11.0

Security

openSUSE 11.0 includes the latest packages to secure your system and your home networks. Our complete security tools include Linux anti virus and protection from spam and even intruder attacks.

AntiVir

AntiVir is the Linux anti virus software for your standalone computer, peer-to-peer networks or your individual workstations in the network. It checks, on the fly, every data operation and allows manual searches for scanning individual files or mapped drives. It also provides on-access scanning of file shares by all standard virus scanners.

AppArmor

AppArmor is an effective and easy-to-use Linux application security system that protects your Linux operating system and applications from the effects of attacks, viruses and malicious applications. AppArmor is not a firewall or a virus-detection application; it is a complete intrusion-prevention system.

SpamAssassin

SpamAssassin is an intelligent e-mail filter that identifies spam. It uses a diverse range of tests to identify unsolicited bulk e-mail; these tests are applied to e-mail headers and content to classify e-mail using advanced statistical methods. In addition, SpamAssassin has a modular architecture that allows other technologies to be quickly wielded against spam and is designed for easy integration into virtually any e-mail system.

SUSE Firewall

The integrated SUSE Firewall protects your system from network intruders. It installs and activates automatically, ensuring that your system is always secure. It also uses Network Address Translation (NAT) for masquerading and port-forwarding security techniques.
