New Avast version 20.8.2432
Hi all, please welcome the newest version of Avast AV: 20.8 (20.8.2429)
*Update: Oct-07-2020 upon applying new service-pack, current version number is 20.8.2432*
Here are our biggest improvements:
Improved accessibility - Our interface is now better suited for impaired users
- Safer web browsing - Web Shield now supports scanning for threats in Google’s QUIC protocol
- Friendlier CyberCapture - If you stumble upon a file we can’t identify, CyberCapture can send it to our ThreatLabs for a detailed analysis. We’ve updated this entire process to make it easier than ever
- Better Remote Access Shield - Not only do we now support Windows’ Samba protocol, we’ve also added logs to show all remote connection attempts to your computer. (Avast Premium Security only)
- Firewall recognizes VPNs - Firewall now knows when you’re using our VPN and won’t classify this as an unknown network. (Avast Premium Security only)
And here are just some of the 100+ issues we also fixed:
- Stomped a pretty nasty UI bug that made AV pop up randomly
- Edge case fixed where Password Protection didn’t recognize supported browsers
- Text encoding of an exclusion created from detection dialog
- Shredder can now properly shred read-only files
- Fixed service crashes that happened when uninstalling the Wi-Fi Inspector component
- Remnants of configurations are now properly stored in the registry (instead of avast5.ini)
- Firewall no longer blocks ping (this was an edge case)
- Fixed the excessive memory usage of process monitor caused by Behavioral Shield hooking
- Fixed OS boot problems when running smss.exe as virtualized
- Plugged a memory leak in RegistryChangeWatcher
- Fixed aswToolsSvc.exe initialization issues upon version update and before OS restart
- Fixed serviceDLL monitoring and removal
- Repair action now properly fixes hooklib.dll
- Remote Access Shield detection window no longer appears if you’ve disabled its notifications in Settings
