• An issue that could cause the module to terminate abnormally has been resolved;
• To keep users well informed about the module's operation, an Error 2 message is now displayed if an update mirror directory is unavailable;
• Minor tweaks have also been introduced.

In addition, the module Dr.Web Thunderstorm Cloud Client SDK (12.0.17.08271) has been updated in Versions 11.5 and 12.0 of Dr.Web Security Space, Dr.Web Anti-virus and Dr.Web Anti-virus for Windows Servers as well as in Dr.Web AV-Desk 13.0. Now the module uses OpenSSL 1.1.11, which contributes to an overall security boost in Dr.Web software’s operation.

The update will be performed automatically; however, a system reboot will be required.
