[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 959401, member: 38832"] Quote: " [HEADING=2]Version 18.1[/HEADING] [I]Released September 2021[/I] Remote access protection [LIST] [*]When a banking session starts, Banking protection detects and blocks remote access to your computer and displays a warning. This prevents phone scammers from leveraging remote access software to perform online thefts. [*]The feature is limited to Anydesk and TeamViewer, but more applications are to be added later this year. [/LIST] Automatic gaming mode [LIST] [*]When a game starts, the product goes into gaming mode automatically. This pauses the software and database updates, and scheduled scanning. [*]The feature is available in Windows 10 RS5 or newer versions. [/LIST] All user interfaces now with .NET technology [LIST] [*]All user interfaces have been converted to .NET technology. [*]The change has been implemented, as the old user interface needed to be loaded into memory after restart, affecting the computer performance. It was also always running in the background, consuming memory and a little bit of CPU. The new .NET-based user interface now loads into the memory only when needed, resulting in less resource usage while the product still protects you in the background.

[*]You can install the product from the shortcut also after installation, and you can also start the product from here. [/LIST] Other improvements [LIST] [*]Windows 11 support [*]Dark mode support [*]Serbian language support [*]Notifications to install the Browser extension appear at the same time for multiple browsers. If using multiple browsers, this allows you to set up the Browsing extension separately for a given browser.
