The new version of Avast Business Antivirus will be available for new installations immediately. All existing devices will start the automatic upgrade to this version later.
If you wish to upgrade your devices to this version prior to the automatic upgrade, you can create a new Task (Update device – Program update task) from your console.
A system reboot will be required to complete the installation. There will be no forced reboot, unless you have set this in your device policy settings.
Important Changes
• The component previously named “Password Protection” has been renamed to “Browser Shield”. If you are a managed user, please note that in the Avast Business Hub, the component will be renamed in the next release (version 8.92).
• The redesigned “Browser Shield” component now also includes a new feature called “Protect cookies”. Browser cookie protection protects you against cookie theft. This new functionality helps protect your sensitive data that is stored in your browser cookies.
Resolved Issues
• Fixed issue where email messages scanned by Mail Shield did not include a note saying that they were scanned (despite this note being set to be inserted automatically).
• Other minor fixes.
