End of availability for Polite Protocol (UDP) update protocol as of December 15, 2008 (November 24, 2008)

On December 15, 2008, F-Secure will drop support for the legacy "Polite Protocol" (UDP) based update protocol.

Of the currently supported product versions, the following two still use this protocol by default:

  • Anti-Virus for Citrix Servers 5-series
  • Anti-Virus for MIMEsweeper 5-series

Both of the products will be able to fall back to the currently supported HTTP protocol, given that there are no constraints in the network preventing the HTTP connection from being established. Please see this page for the requirements for the HTTP update protocol.

This change will not affect the above-mentioned products if they receive their updates through an F-Secure Policy Manager installation.

This change will also have no impact on customers using any other currently supported product than the two listed above. Please see the Product Management page for up-to-date information on supported F-Secure products and their versions.
