What's new in avast! Server Edition 4.7.638
Aug 7, 2006
- improvements in executable packers (most notably, added ASProtect and MoleBox unpackers)
- fixed incorrect statistics in sessions of scheduled tasks
- fixed the Program Settings menu item in the avast tray icon menu
- solved a rare problem that could eventually cause even a crash of the OS during boot (Windows 2003)
- Standard Shield: by default, system DLLs are not scanned anymore (speed optimization)
- further improved Standard Shield speed under Windows XP (generally, less files are scanned)
- Standard Shield: improved compatibility with Microsoft Office (particularly, saving of Excel documents on network shares)
- transition to new data storage - avast does not need the ODBC/Jet drivers anymore and should therefore work better even under older versions of Windows (NT4)
- fixed a bug that was sometimes causing very slow scanning of CAB archives
- boot-time scanner: added support for additional archives (GZ, BZIP2, TAR, LHARC, ZOO)
- improved handling of infected files with exotic filenames
- solved a problem with setting of incorrect access rights to the avast executable files
- temporarily disabled the CHM unpacker
- removed a limit of maximal length of winpopup alerts (used to be 128 characters)
- Enhanced User Interface: infected items are now marked as red
- implemented new method of deleting of locked infected files (now using the boot-time scanner technology)
- avast! Server Edition should now work flawlessly with Windows Windows Longhorn Server beta 2 and higher
