What's new

v3.6 [Nov 24, 2016]
IMPROVED: Detection and removal for Kovter fileless malware.
FIXED: Detection of Cookies for Internet Explorer and Edge.
REMOVED: Kickstart functionality.

v3.0 [Dec 3, 2014]
- Added ability to protect custom applications against vulnerability attacks. Users can now use the ‘Running applications’ dialog under ‘Exploit mitigations’, which offers a user-friendly overview of the running applications and the ability to choose and protect applications against vulnerability attacks.
- Added automatic exploit protection for 'Skype for Windows desktop'.
- Added automatic detection of media applications to the built-in software radar. This means that applications that can open music or video files are automatically protected against exploit attacks (e.g. Windows Media Player, VLC media player, etc.)
- Added a notification and ability to restart an application when the user updated its exploit mitigation settings.
- Added ability to remove exploit mitigations from configured applications.
- Added tray icon to summon the main user interface, scan the computer or check for updates.
- Improved detection of uninstalled applications so that they are no longer listed under ‘Your web browsers’ or ‘Your applications’.
- Improved the software radar to also detect 64-bit applications with 32-bit registrations; e.g. WordPad on 64-bit Windows is now correctly recognized.
- Improved detection and blocking of malware downloads initiated from attacker-controlled memory.
- Improved support for the Opera web browser, including Opera Next and Opera Developer.
- Improved compatibility of ‘Active vaccination’ with installed applications.
- Enabled the checkbox to ‘Perform malware scan after installation’ on the Install dialog.
- Solved input lag that occurred in games like Battlefield 4.
- Solved compatibility issue with some 64-bit security software, like Emsisoft Anti-Malware.
- Many small fixes and improvements.
