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.

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.

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.

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.
