Fixing is necessary. * engine fixing in the MD5 checking procedure; * bug fixing for the 104.cdb database. GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.19 (December, 28 2019) -------------------------------------------------- The past release has revealed complications: threat databases are not always downloading correctly, the program hangs in several cases. So on New Year's Eve, we're releasing an improved version, which has been a parallel branch for a long time because of numerous serious changes in engine. * just to make serious fix in the database handling flow; * a long sprint with major engine changes is finally over!

GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.17 (December, 12 2019) -------------------------------------------------- This release is a kind of walk through unfinished and postponed tasks throughout the year: * The creation of a restore point was repaired (newly arrived forces found a broken piece of code); * The quality of detection with regular expressions using was improved; * Links that interact with external resources were updated (obtaining new licenses and other external stuff) * Several small usability tasks (custom scan page, displaying of a QR code, etc.) GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.16 (December, 6 2019) ------------------------------------------------- A very few changes in this release, we continue with the interface improving * Minor changes to GUI and usability improvements * As usual, changes in detection of new threats and interaction with the list of threats * New Year’s marketing stuff GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.15 (November, 28 2019) -------------------------------------------------- This time changes in outfit only: * We have renovated Start Scan icons for all scan types; * Several dialog windows inside the program were updated and we proceed; * Awaiting for more New Year's changes! December is so close... GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.14 (November, 26 2019) -------------------------------------------------- Abnormal, but it happens from time to time: we have to release a newer version with bug fixing (it was a rash decision in the morning to add a newby's code bypassing testing - important lesson for the future): * several fixes to reduce the flow of error reports. Please accept our apologies. GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.13 (November, 26 2019) -------------------------------------------------- It was some kind a refactoring with no visible results (all changes are engine-related), but it is important to keep the program up-to-date: * We have updated the process of using our virus databases, which were sorted and repackaged for a smaller amount of transmitted data. In the last release, we were so carried away that we lost some (ok, almost 80%) in cloud interactions. Issue was repaired and renovated threat list is ready to use. * Several new promotion features were added to make our users happier after Thanksgiving ;) GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.12 (November, 22 2019) -------------------------------------------------- There are changes in this release: * Minor fixes and refactoring GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.11 (November, 19 2019) -------------------------------------------------- A few more necessary changes for a correct understanding of the displayed scan result. * 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 GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.10 (November, 8 2019) ------------------------------------------------- We are on our way of solving previously detected trouble with correct declaration and formulation of intentions in scan results. Besides, our installer was also under reconstruction and it was improved: all required (and missed) information was added. * Fixes in threats detecting engine; * Reconstruction of Installation Guide; * Interface changes. * November marketing materials were added. GridinSoft Anti-Malware 4.1.9 (October, 31 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.
