There was nothing out like it. I've been running a 5 year old demo client forever and still no antivirus or antispyware has ever gotten on my machine even with default settings. Maybe they can make it open source and let the code go. It would be a shame to lose it. Csa was simply amazing. There was nothing out like it.

What Cisco has told me was that 6.0.2 would be the last major release of CSA, i.e. the release you point to in your link. I am not going to recommend CSA to any of my customers until I hear that Cisco has changed their mind concerning CSA. dfkosek – When I wrote the article 6.0.2 hadn’t been released, when I wrote the article CSA wouldn’t run on Windows 7.

You state that there is no supprt for Windows 7 but on their web iste it seems quite different.

Perhaps they will port csa into their any connect solution? I've been waiting for some time for a complete solution from the vendor market and this is a step in the right direction.

Even when the next version comes Cisco will have to support it for years to come. However I have been told (the last time today) that 6.0.2 will be the last version and that Cisco instead will focus on their other products. As for other products from AV vendors doing a better jobb I agree with what you say. What I meant was that the AV vendors might have an easier time selling a HIPS product compared to Cisco as the AV vendors already have a large install base on end nodes.
