NEW Avast Version 21.5 (June 2021)
« on: Today at 10:55:10 AM »
Hi, all. Please welcome the newest version of Avast AV: 21.5 (21.5.2470)
Major public announcements
Fewer interruptions in fullscreen — When you’re running another app fullscreen, our antivirus will no longer open on top and interrupt you. We apologize if this happened to you! (And don’t worry, threat warnings will still appear, so you’ll always know about malware even while watching your favorite film)
Introducing Webcam Shield reminders — If you’ve configured Webcam Shield to automatically block or allow apps, we’ll now remind you of this when an app tries to access your webcam so you don’t sit around wondering why your webcam isn’t working. (For Premium Security only)
Updated privacy policies — We’ve updated our General Privacy Policy and other connected privacy policies. You can find them here
Bug fixes for:
Software Updater is giving us a headache these days - We had to temporarily remove this feature from Smart Scan to patch a few bugs, but users can still find and use it from their menu. We’ll be slowly rolling it back out to Smart Scan, so if you don’t see it there yet, please wait a few more days
We’ve updated our UI rendered CEF to a new version (chromium 90.0.4430.93) to patch known security flaws
Fixed issue with creating Rescue Disk for UEFI format (next to BIOS)
Other Rescue Disk improvements: fixed a bug that prevented Rescue Disk from starting, improved keyboard controls, etc.
Fixed a tray icon error that showed an issue notification despite everything being OK
Fixed a Firewall issue where driver aswNetHub.sys caused a BSOD
Fixed a leak of GDI objects
Fixed the AvastClear utility, which didn’t properly remove the antivirus from Windows Security Centre
...and a lot of other improvements we can’t disclose
As usual a big thanks goes to the team for yet another successful release!
