Version: 18.6.2349

[MartinZ]

Good news everyone,
new stable version 18.6.2349 has just been released. This time it's more about fixes and internal improvements.
 

What's new:

- Do Not Disturb Mode replaces Game Mode and adds support for non-game apps too

- Edge extension replaces the Internet Explorer one (https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9P5882STVN6X)

- SecureLine VPN component won't be part of AV. User will be offered to install standalone VPN client independent from AV (staged release not for all users now)

- Support for scanning TLS 1.3 traffic via Web Shield (Chrome, Firefox)

- Automatic redirect to search page if domain isn't found

Fixed:

- Firewall notification not displayed when network changed
- Detection dialog not displayed for Web Shield when set to Ask
- Wrong reporting of Wi-Fi Inspector scan progress percent
- Site blocking works again
- Rescue disc
- Reporting of AV and Firewall state to Windows Security Center
- Explorer scan result not added to Notification Center
- Removed Enable offline mode option in free version tray icon

- Secureline VPN is visible in Components although is not installed.

Those two are already reported on last beta refresh (yesterday).

- When i click on full scan, first time appear results from previous scan and scan will not run.

A Japanese user also reported this issue with previous release version (18.5.2342), although I can't reproduce it.

Clean install of 18.6.3983.0 build.  Good.
Couple issues using Custom Install:

• Avast VPN option ticked to install even tho said in first post was removed in this version.
• New Feature:  Do Not Disturb not installed, yet shows in gui and constantly tries to load window, does not complete.  Endless operation.

Updated fine on the XP computer and the Windows 10 computer .. It did try to sneak in "Safe Price Add On" for Firefox on my XP computer (maybe I missed deselecting a check box) .. Otherwise all is fine.

I would like to find "Settings" but "UI is down".
