Release Notes: Avast Business Antivirus 23.12 - January 2024

Release Summary

The new version of Avast Business Antivirus will be available for new installations immediately. All existing devices will start the automatic upgrade to this version later. If you wish to upgrade your devices to this version prior to the automatic upgrade, you can create a new Task (Update device – Program update task) from your console. A system reboot will be required to complete the installation. There will be no forced reboot, unless you have set this in your device policy settings.

New Feature(s) & Enhancements

* Sandbox - internal changes and improvements
* SecureDNS / Real Site - Added support of DOH (DNS over HTTPS)
* Implemented Port Scan and ARP Spoofing detection in the Firewall for unmanaged Avast Business Antivirus. When enabled, the Firewall now actively checks for hackers or malware attempting to scan the PC for open ports (Port Scan) and for ARP spoofing attacks. In case of detection, the Avast Business Antivirus notifies the user, offering options to take immediate action:
* Disconnect and block this network: Immediately disconnects from the current network and blocks any future connections to it. The Blocked message is displayed next to this network on the Network screen in Firewall settings.
* Stay connected but block the suspicious device: Remains connected to the network while blocking the external device conducting ARP spoofing. This allows continued internet usage but is not recommended due to potential additional threats on the network. Blocked devices can be managed in the Firewall settings.
* Ignore this potential threat - I trust this network: Takes no immediate action. It is not recommended unless the user is certain about the network's security.

Resolved Issues

* Numerous crashes fixed to improve stabilization / performance.
* Fixed an issue where Anti-Rootkit Shield was causing BSOD.
* Fixed an issue where the offline installer for Small Office Protection required an internet connection.Your privacy is our priority, and we want to be transparent about how we process your personal data. See the latest version of our Privacy Policy now. Privacy Policy.
