New in GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.11 (Nov 19, 2019)
- PUPs and some malicious objects are now grouped and one detection corresponds to one potentially unwanted program (on the other hand, installing programs of this type, the user unwittingly receives a whole set of unwanted software often. Therefore, it is more interesting to explore them :wink: )
- We added the as convenient as possible ability to inform us about potential false detections of files and programs. This function is now available directly from the Statusbar in the scan result window.
- On the scan result window, the Statusbar now displays the total amount of found objects in the list (unlike the right panel report, where malicious objects are grouped by type). This will avoid duplicate information. Besides, it is more convenient to track the total number of malicious files.
- We made changes in the confirmation window on the program exiting, when the report mode on scan result is active.
- Changed some wording in the report on found objects. We try to avoid the word “threats” in accordance with the requirements of an independent software evaluation
New in GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.9 (Nov 2, 2019)
- Odd things happen... This time we had to release an urgent version update as some guys decided to mark our software as ‘potentially unwanted’ with “App exaggerated the scanning result, it counts each object as threat and malicious”.... Hmmm... Ok, will turn them to objects - is it OK now?
- The approach to the naming detected objects has been changed. We abandoned the initially accepted “threat” because there are situations when the importance of an element is exaggerated (for example, elements in the registry or icons)
- Fixed the problem with the unfinished sсan process: in very rare cases it becomes violated because of some special system settings.
