Hi everyone,

I`m glad to announce that new beta version is ready - 20.5.2411 (build 20.5.5366).

What's new
Introducing Remote Access Shield - This new feature lets you choose who can remotely access your computer and lets you block the rest. (Premium Security users only)
Ransomware Shield is now free - We’re now offering this feature to Avast Free Antivirus users to maximize their ransomware protection
Better USB drive protection - We’ll now ask you to scan USB drives when you plug them into your computer. (You can also turn this off in your notification settings)
Improved taskbar icon - There’s no need to keep your antivirus open during scans. You can now see your scan progress from the Avast taskbar icon
Google QUIC protocol support added to Webshield - It can affect anything from the "google ecosystem" so please let us know in case of any issues with e.g. Chrome, Opera, MS Edge, Drive, Calendar, Youtube...

What was fixed
Based on the customers feedbak we changed the design of buttons in bank mode

Known issues
Rescue disc cannot be created in some cases

The issue affects Windows 8 and 10 too, except that it only delays the shutdown instead of blocking it.
