Hi, the "redirfs-based on-access scanner" as you called it, is avflt, anti-virus filter for the redirfs framework. The redirfs is a general framework allowing filters to interact with file system calls and avflt is using this framework to provide interface for on-access scanning. To answer your question: yes dazuko and redirfs+avflt are different projects. We are not dropping support for dazuko. It will be supported in the upcoming AVG 8.5 for Linux/FreeBSD, but we will recommend to use redirfs+avfl solution for linux kernels >= 2.6.25. Dazuko solution should be used for linux kernel < 2.6.25 and of course for FreeBSD since here the dazuko is, as far as I know, the only solution. > > If so, what does this mean for the future of Dazuko?
