Title: New beta version 21.9.2490
Post by: jan.svoboda on October 05, 2021, 12:05:51 PM

Hi everyone,

there is a new beta version ready - 21.9.2490 (build 21.9.6634).

What's new
We have a new dashboard status to inform users if Firewall was set to Untrusted network profile so it's obvious at first glance that AV might be blocking connections from other computers, printers, and devices.

Download links
Avast free https://bits.avcdn.net/productfamily_ANTIVIRUS/insttype_FREE/platform_WIN/installertype_ONLINE/build_BETA
Avast premium https://bits.avcdn.net/productfamily_ANTIVIRUS/insttype_APR/platform_WIN/installertype_ONLINE/build_BETA

Enjoy this beta!
We are looking forward to your feedback.

Also please be informed that we would appreciate if you would be so kind and try our Antivirus product based on so called "icarus" setup (installation and update engine) already used for other Avast products but now available also for AV. More information is here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=264883.0.
Please note that in order to get it, you need to uninstall the current one (automatic migration is not supported at the moment).

AVAST Team

when does the whitelist database add feature in the firewall ?
So, will avast free installation include a firewall by default in November and how do I add a firewall feature to all users this month via vps or application updates?
