Hi all,
we just released new beta AVG version 17.7.3031 (build 17.7.3652.0).
What’s new:
- New Webcam shield that checks which apps are trying to turn on your webcam
3 modes:
[list]- Smart mode (default) - we allow trusted apps and ask to grant access for unknown apps
- Strict mode - we always ask user if the app should access webcam or not
- No mercy mode - we always block the access to webcam so your webcam can’t be turned on
- Changes in UI, tiles or dashboard are now clickable and it’s easier to control real-time protection and to use advanced features
- Improved low level optimizations for AMD Ryzen CPUs
