New Beta version 19.1.2358

Hi everyone,

new beta version 19.1.2358 (build 19.1.4133) is released.

We would like to ask you for feedback to some changes we made. Please focus on these:

• Exceptions - let us know if they work in your environment

What's new

• Online installer
• Global Exceptions only - we prefer to use just global exceptions that work for all shields and scans. So if you enter some file or folder it should be ignored for both shields and scans
• Redesigned global settings. There is a specific thread about new settings (report bugs, suggest improvements, discuss, hate, whatever ;-) - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=221665.0

What was fixed

• Dialog about requested restart is displayed after manual update
• Smart Scan - bad browser add-ons are detected on x64 systems
• Data Shredder works also on x64 systems
• Do Not Disturb mode does now starts for full-screen Windows Store Apps
• And some boring crashes

Known issues

• There is no update progress visible in UI
• Unidentified network toaster can be sometimes displayed
