LogMeIn Antivirus - What AV engine runs it?

Does anyone know what AV product LogMeIn Antivirus really is?  I don't think that LMI would build their own AV product from the ground up.  I am just wondering what product it is based off of before ...

Well if it IS ClamAV we would not be interested at all.  Last time I checked ClamAV with places like AV-Test it had less than a 20% detection rate for windows.  At that point why even bother since windows defender would be better.  I know there are ways of improving on this by using third-party signatures but the nature of this means you have to be vigilant in maintaining these.  Overall we'll just keep and re-sub Symantec AV.

I can state publicly it's not CLAM.  Other than that, I'm still waiting to hear about updates to the program and final release dates....

    AshC,

     

    Not doubting you but can you expand on why you believe it's not CLAM?

      RDiaz  While we do work with security partners, I have never heard CLAM mentioned.  I apologize for the delay in getting everyone updates on this thread, and expect more information to be available soon --- certainly before we leave beta testing.

    Yeah, I agree its not CLAM, I wasnt able to replicate my initial research that pointed in that direction.   We have deployed on a couple of test machines.   Seems like the product is a decent beta, but not yet ready for Prime Time.   We havent been able to get the anti-phishing module to work on any test machines and LMI support hasnt been able to get it working either.

      That's good news (pending confirmation).  But unfortunately for us, we can't wait for this to be ready.  Especially with California's new SIMM 5355 mandate, we would need a more robust solution than just endpoint AV.
