What does Avira GmbH (formerly known as H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH) have to do with Dazuko?
Avira GmbH is an anti-virus company based in Tettnang, Germany. In order to allow on-access file scanning for the GNU/Linux operating system, they developed Dazuko (called the “AvGuard kernel module” at the time). However, it was felt that releasing the module source code as free software would not only broaden the available user base, but also provide an opportunity to create a common interface for 3rd party file access control. Dazuko has become the basis for several products and thus will continue to have development interest from the community.
