New

• Next-Generation Antivirus installers for Windows OS are now provided as MSI packages, replacing the existing batch file installer. View the installation documentation  for details.
  • Next-Generation Antivirus is now installed using two MSI files.
  • The MSI package can be deployed using common third party deployment tools (for example SCCM, Intune, Automox) and does not require restart at any stage of installation, upgrade or uninstallation.
  • If Auto-Updates are enabled for your organization, the MSI package can be used to upgrade existing versions of Next-Generation Antivirus that are already installed, both manually and remotely.

Improved

• We improved performance issues caused by the On-Access Scan (Antivirus) engine.

Fixed

Windows

• We fixed an issue where the On-Access Scan (Antivirus) engine service can freeze when settings are updated from the Command Platform.
• We fixed a memory leak bug that caused high memory consumption.
• Slowdown performance caused by the On-Access scan engine has not been reduced by an exclusion for this engine, as exclusions did not prevent the scan engine from operating on the excluded files.

macOS and Linux

• We fixed an issue where the Antivirus Health status in the Assets table were shown as Poor even though signatures were up to date and the engine was running correctly.
