Hi,

here is the list of changes…

  • improvements in registration of client to the server,
  • added support for cloning devices,
  • added support for dynamic change of the next tick period which it’s used for the time of next synchronization with the server,
  • fixed some memory leaks and problems detected on winqual from ABS 10 R1 SP1 (build 2504),
  • adding “http://” prefix and/or “*” into the blocked sites in Web Shield settings,
  • improved saving of local information about the chest content,
  • fixed bug in wrongly displayed name of scan in the dialog about its progress, if some extra characters were present,
  • old and new versions of VPS & program are sent back to the server in corresponding update tasks and they are also displayed in the details of update tasks in console,
  • added new state “Blocked” for infections which were only blocked by some shield. it’s differentiate from the state “Detected” for infection, which were only detected in scan tasks and no other action happened in both cases.
