Details
VSAPI (Virus Scan API) is Trend Micro’s File Scanning Engine, a core component of most Trend Micro Security Products. It is the current technology module responsible for processing File Objects and classifying them as malicious, suspected or non-malicious files.
Listed below are the new features of the VSAPI 9.75 scan engine:
- P7M support
- P7M is one of the S/MIME formats. VSAPI 9.75 now reads content from the P7M format.
- Does not support encrypted p7m files (smime-type=enveloped-data).
- XDP support
- XDP stands for Adobe Data Package File, a PDF file format. VSAPI 9.75 supports extractions of XDP.
- The extracted PDF is on current layer plus one. So the ability to extract the PDF will be limited by product
configuration.
- Essential file list update
- Essential file list (EFL) is a technique that prevents a VSAPI false positive disaster.
- VSAPI 9.75 updated its EFL with Windows 8 critical files.
- Windows 8.1 critical files are not included.
- New file type support
- HWP (Hangul, also known as Hangul Word Processor or HWP).
- JTD (Ichitaro (一太郎 ichitaro, is a Japanese word processor).
