• Ability to turn on/off the “Enable anti-rootkit monitor” parameter in the Troubleshooting section
• The notification type (in the Notification settings) “Turn on real-time protection” is been renamed to “Other technical issues” it will include all product-related notifications that are too specific and occurs less often, therefore, they are not presented as separated notification type
• When the antivirus will be installed on Mac, however, system extensions won’t be allowed, you will see this info directly on device detail in the Console, together with instructions how to proceed. (With the upcoming release of macOS High Sierra and due to new security policy, when installing the antivirus to a new Mac you will have to allow system extensions otherwise all real-time shields won’t run. You can do this only with admin rights on the local computer.)
• Fixed problem that the MSI installer was not run silently
• Fixed problem that a suspended user cannot be removed from the console
• Fixed problem that it is not possible to install the antivirus to a new device
• Diverse Verbesserungen und Fehlerkorrekturen
Hinweis: Directly inside the console (bottom left corner), you will see a notification informing that new version is available. There will be also a link to the installer - however, if you do not want to wait till notification just use this link: [size=7pt]http://bconprem.d.avast.com/avast/bconprem/avast_business_mc_setup.exe[/size]
