Updates - 11:39am (Pacific Time) - September 28, 2022
Our developers have informed us that they have pushed a fix into production to help address this issue on systems that were running older versions of the Antivirus software that customers have not updated at this time. This patch will automatically deploy to older antivirus versions on our Cloud Services and will implement a change to enable the Active Protection and Firewall functionality on the devices.
Customers will still need to update the installed copy of the antivirus software as per our previous update.
Customers running the on-premise versions of the antivirus software will be provided a further update once updated builds of our antivirus products are available for the Core Server and Deep Freeze Enterprise platforms.
