Cloud Management Console

Avast Business Cloud Management Console Version 6.3 Release Notes

Avast Antivirus 18.7
This release introduces bug fixes and enhancements.

We have updated the UI (styling, menu updates), VPN component (part of Avast Business Antivirus Pro Plus only) now has its own User Interface. The VPN user interface can still be accessed via the Antivirus UI. This makes accessing the VPN much easier for the end user than having to open up the Antivirus UI with multiple clicks to activate/de-activate the VPN. Support for Windows Server 2019, including Exchange and SharePoint 2019.

Important

  1. Avast Antivirus 18.7 is for NEW Avast Business Antivirus / Pro / Pro Plus installations only.
  2. Avast Antivirus 18.7 automatic upgrades will start around 14th November.

Avast update servers are confused (see picture).

VPN component (part of Avast Business Antivirus Pro Plus only) now has its own User Interface.

That means that Avast SecureLine has his own shortcut on the desktop?

2. Avast Antivirus 18.7 automatic upgrades will start around 14th November.

Is the automatic upgrade still programmed for today?

I am curious too.

I cannot find a way to disable the installation of the Avast SecureLine portion from the cloud management console. Within the Default Template under Identity it only has “Available only with Antivirus Pro Plus” with a link to the comparison chart of the Avast versions, not the ability to customize, enable/disable the SecureLine service. Our licensing is Antivirus Pro Plus only so I know it’s included but we want to disable it’s functionality as we use our own corporate VPN. This has caused one issue w/ a laptop already when trying to reach our corp network when SecureLine got enabled somehow on it.

I can’t for the life of me find where I can modify this…

Try going into Device Settings, click the … menu on the right of “Avast SecureLine VPN” and click to uninstall the component.
