Webfilter
panda-commtouch-webfilter-2.10.38-1.panda8.noarch.rpm: Fixed an issue by which in the Commtouch web filter when a website was blocked, the category was not shown correctly if uncategorized sites had been blocked as well. Another issue has been fixed where websites would be shown even if they were in a category that had been blocked. This only occured if the respective website belonged to more than one category where, at least, one of the categories had been allowed in the profile.
Antimalware
panda-panda-2.10.40-0.panda5.noarch.rpm: When scanning emails and files for viruses from FTP connections the output of the scan procedure was parsed to determine the result. However, for files larger than 2 megabytes the output contained the entire content of the file which resulted in very high CPU usage during the parsing of the output. This has been resolved by redirecting the content output.

System
POP3/Antispam
Affected packages:
efw-commtouch-mailsecurity-2.10.17-1.panda6.noarch.rpm
panda-gatedefender-appliance-*
In the POP3 proxy now no additional antispam-checks will be performed once the result of Commtouch antispam is known. This is valid for all Commtouch categories (which are: spam, non-spam, bulk, suspected and unknown). This means that all RBL checks are still performed but detailed content analysis is not. This results in much faster scanning of emails.

E-mail security
Panda-commtouch-mailsecurity-2.10.12-1.panda4.noarch.rpm: Commtouch mail security is now used not only to identify spam mails but also to identify non-spam mails which results in less tests being performed and thus performance improvements and a smaller rate of false positives.
