Despite Windows XP having reached end of life status, and generally being unsafe for use [1], it’s still wildly popular. By the numbers, it’s the second most popular desktop operating system – currently at 18% market share [2]. So although OESIS V4 was built for the modern OS (it already supports Windows 10!), we’ve invested some effort to add Windows XP support. Check out OESIS V4, release 4.1.167.0 for the best Windows support yet, covering nearly 14 years of Microsoft operating systems.
Additionally we’ve added detection for 21 new applications since last week. Check out the full list here. If you’re using OESIS Auto Update, then these new products will be detected without any extra effort.
If you’ve recently downloaded the OESIS Endpoint Assessment Tool (requires Windows 7 or newer) you may have noticed a new design and several new features. We’ve added a Process Scanner and an IP Connection Scanner, both of which are integrated into Metascan Online. The Process Scanner will scan all running processes with up to 43 anti-malware engines. The IP Scanner will check all open IP connections against 13 IP reputation sources. These new features are available in the multi-scanning module – contact us to learn more.
