Urgent Update from Avast for Business Version 10.3.2507
[i]This past Friday (October 30), Avast for Business released a streaming software update that may have caused certain endpoints to lose connection to the cloud console which then disables client protection. The affected version is 10.3.2507. This program version was removed from our update server on November 2 and is no longer available. If your endpoints are showing as not protected and you have version 10.3.2507, then you’ll need to uninstall Avast for Business reinstall version 10.3.2505 from the cloud console. We apologize for any inconvenience the update may have caused. If you have questions or need support, please contact us at: https://support.business.avast.com
Watching Over Your Security, The Avast Support Team[/i]
[i]A fix is in place, please notify us by ticket with subject line “Issues with 2507 fix” if you continue to have issues. We have started distributing micro update which should disable NG component on affected devices. It means that this should solve the problem.
Please use the following steps:
Run the “Restart device” task on affected devices / or restart it manually
After restart waits few minutes (let’s say 15 minutes)
Run the “Restart device” task on affected devices again / or restart it manually
After these steps device should be back fully operating.[/i]

Control your data. Free your business. Let your employees work wherever they are, with instant, secure access to corporate apps and data. The more employees you have, the higher the chances that your company data can be leaked. Avast VMP lets you create a virtual mobile infrastructure (VMI) that streams standard mobile apps to any device. Since apps run on corporate servers, your data can’t be lost or stolen - even if your device is. Streams are fully encrypted to prevent eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. And you can plug even the smallest leaks with features like screenshot prevention.
