NEW AVG Beta version 17.7.3031

[Karel Šťavík]

Hi all,

we just released new beta AVG version 17.7.3031 (build 17.7.3652.0).

What's new:

• New Webcam shield that checks which apps are trying to turn on your webcam
3 modes:

• Smart mode (default) - we allow trusted apps and ask to grant access for unknown apps
• Strict mode - we always ask user if the app should access webcam or not
• No mercy mode - we always block the access to webcam so your webcam can't be turned on
• Changes in UI, tiles or dashboard are now clickable and it's easier to control real-time protection and to use advanced features
• Improved low level optimizations for AMD Ryzen CPUs

Known issues:

• Webcam
• It is not possible to disable WebCam shield
• There are no notifications in WebCam shield in No mercy mode
• WebCam shield detection dialogues are not displayed on top in case some metro application is detected
• Help for WebCam shield is not localized
