Possibility to turn off/on the Real-time Protection Network Client
Access to the Real-time Protection Network can now be turned on or off. Note that any
sub-components that are relying on this (such as DeepGuard and Browsing Protection)
will have either limited functionality or will not work at all.
Note that there is no local UI support. The setting can only be configured through Policy
Manager Console, Advanced view, Real-time Protection Network Client
– Settings –
Client is enabled.
-
Limited amount of DeepGuard block dialogs per application
Some malware launchers can launch the same malware an infinite amount of times,
which from now on only results in a maximum of 5 blocked dialogs. After this, the
application is blocked silently. At reboot, the counter is reset.
-
Fewer Application Control prompts
Application Control now uses the real-time protection network to reduce the amount of
prompts when trusted applications try to connect to the Internet.
-
Boot-up optimization
Some components that are active during the boot-up phase have been re-designed to
be less CPU intensive. This results in faster boot-up time.
-
Several processes removed
The functionality of the following processes has been merged into other processes:
FSMB32.EXE, FSGUIDLL.EXE, FCH32.EXE, FAMEH32.EXE, fsaua.exe, fsus.exe, and
fsqh.exe.
One new process, FSHDLL32.EXE (and FSHDLL64.EXE on 64-bit operating systems),
has been created for hosting some of the functionality that the above processes used to
offer.
This frees up memory and reduces the total thread count. The end result is 6 processes
less compared to the previous release.
-
Dial-up Control is disabled by default
Dial-up Control is now disabled by default. It can still be enabled through the
“Settings -
Network connections - Dial-
up Control”.
