New:
“Pseudo File Downloaders” file group has been updated with additional entries for: *cmd.exe | *.bat | *.cmd for enhanced security. This file group is referenced in 3rd "Run Virtually" rule set.

New:
We now have a new tab "Advanced Protection" under "Advanced Settings" where:
"Virus Scope" and "Secure Shopping": These used to be separate tabs are now part of this "Advanced Protection" section.
"Miscellaneous": From HIPS Settings, we have moved 4 settings and made part of this section. "Heuristic Command Line Analysis" and "Embedded Code Detection" are integrated under one interface as "Do Heurristic Command Line Analysis". So embedded code detection is expanded in that interface and connected with related parsers. Also we have moved "shell code injection detection" and "browser configuration modification" settings under this section.
Comodo Secure DNS is back in installation offering now.
Changes:
You will see word "Sandbox" is now replaced with word "Containment" across whole GUI as that is easier to understand by layman while Sandbox has been more technical.
Improved:
Support of Python interpreter in heuristic command line analysis.
Fixed:
All GUI issues experienced with upcoming Windows 10 RedStone-2 / Creators Update are fixed in this release.
