any details on newly released 5.0.0.22?

[Anothermack]

Hello,

Is there some info on the new release (5.0.0.22)?

It's on the download pages.

By the way, when I perform Smartupdate I only get the incremental definition updates, not the program update. Message says: 'Program up to date'

Brgds,
Anothermack

Hi josy1982,

One of the major change from version 4 to version 5 included the introduction of Memory Guard.

A threat may potentially slip under the radar of conventional malware scanners by engaging in stealth techniques to stay undetected as long as possible. Often, in such a scenario, the original threat file is encrypted with polymorphic encryptors which rely on anti-debugging and anti-emulation techniques, presenting a challenging task for malware scanners in detecting it.

However, when such a threat is loaded in memory, it needs to decrypt its own malicious code, completely or partially, or it is unable to run. Once this happens Memory Guard will detect this process and stop it from any damage.
