Russian anti-virus company Doctor Web has updated the following in the products Dr.Web Security Space 11.0 and Dr.Web Anti-virus 11.0: Dr.Web Net filtering service (11.1.5.10270), the Dr.Web Security Space , Anti-virus for Windows setup module (11.0.10.10201), and the configuration scripts. Dr.Web Net filtering service was also updated in Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite supporting centralised administration (part of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 10.0) and in the Internet service Dr.Web AV-Desk 10.0. Meanwhile, configuration scripts were also upgraded in Dr.Web 11.0 for Windows Servers. The update resolves known software issues.

Specifically, it addresses the following traffic–filtering service problems for all the above-mentioned products:

• The service's abnormal termination when the Sessions tab was being opened in the Openfire XMPP server control panel;
• A defect that might result in user sessions being blocked on Windows 10 machines;
• An error that prevented a user account from being blocked at specific times (Internet time-limit settings) if an application was launched with elevated privileges beforehand.
• An issue that resulted in the Parental Control time-limit settings being reset if the PC involved switched to sleep mode;
• A defect that caused online radio playback lags in various media players, such as AIMP and Winamp;
• Issues that interfered with the importation of payment orders from text files in the accounting software suite 1C.

Furthermore, the following traffic–filtering service problems have been resolved in Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite and Dr.Web AV-Desk:

• An issue that resulted in the SSL traffic of mail clients being scanned even though the corresponding option hadn't been enabled;
• Defects that prevented the list of applications exempt from scanning from being transferred successfully during Dr.Web agent version 10 upgrades to version 11;
• Problems that caused the service to terminate abnormally.

The following issues with the Dr.Web Security Space, Anti-virus for Windows setup module have been resolved:

• A defect that caused the module to terminate abnormally if the profile folder's name in the Windows Registry contained invalid symbols;
• A problem that prevented the product from being installed if a second installation module was already running;
• Now information about the license type is displayed in the key file section dialogue box during installation;
• The installer can now also detect EMET and Lumension Endpoint Security installations in the system.

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