Product release information for VIPRE Endpoint Security Cloud Console & Agent version 1.6.1 on September 09, 2020.

What's New

This latest release of VIPRE Endpoint Security Cloud version 1.6.1  is a feature + robustness release that adds uninstall password protection to VIPRE Cloud. This release also includes a whole bunch of robustness features to handle connection issues gracefully with 3rd party storage systems. 

One of the new features we've added with this latest version of VIPRE Cloud is Uninstall Password Protection. It includes the ability to define uninstall protection in policies as well as providing increased security through a system-generated uninstall password/token on a per device basis.

We've added two robustness features to the newest release as well. VIPRE Cloud is now able to handle intermittent connectivity issues to third-party services more gracefully. It's also now able to handle consumer service failures and restarts due to health check failure or host server restarts.

Finally, we've made some updates to make the user experience smoother. We've included a standardized tooltip and added legends on charts. Menus also have much more responsive behavior now.

Bugs from Previous Versions

Ticket Number	Description	Workaround
VC-4671	VIPRE Update Proxy Installer displays "Installer corrupted: Invalid opcode" message	Click OK to dismiss the message and finish the installation. No further action is necessary.
VC-4856	UI does not allow some valid email addresses containing quotes	When entering email addresses, do not use double quotation marks.
VC-4758	The Device Timeline report does not display if the report contains more than 4,000 results	There is no workaround for this.
VC-3443	After a threat is removed, the Quarantine list does not refresh	When a user selects to Unquarantine or Delete an item, it becomes scheduled to be acted upon in the system. Since this action delay could take some time (depending on how busy the agents are, how many agents are being asked to act, etc.), it is recommended to manually refresh the display if you need to see an immediate update to the quarantined or deleted items. Additionally, you can navigate to the device details page and see if the deferred work has been picked up by the agent.
VC-3439	When a device status changes on the Devices screen, the device list does not refresh	Refresh the page. The filter count updates when the page loads the status of device updates when the row is expanded/closed.
VC-3137	Bar chart items on a report are not always selectable in Microsoft Edge	Select a filter or refresh the page.
VC-2786	The switch for Anti-Phishing can be toggled on in a policy without Email Protection being enabled	There is no workaround for this as it is cosmetic only. The user is not actually enabling Anti-Phishing because Email Protection is not turned on.
VC-5375	Cloud Installer is blocked when executed within macOS Catalina 10.15	To install the agent package, locate the package, right-click, and select Open. When the warning message is shown, click Open (not Cancel). The installation process will then proceed.
VC-6741	Use Specific Policy is not able to scroll in responsive view	There is no workaround at this time.
VC-6535	Save button is hidden on other tabs when editing Server Exclusion policy associations	There is no workaround at this time.
VC-3508	When trying to edit an expired site, the user will see 422 error code 'Expires on should happen later than now' Example of error	There is no workaround at this time.
VPBAGENT-6792	VIPRE Cloud Console status may show up as "Protected" or "Shutdown" when using the VIPRE Removal Tool to uninstall with password protection	There is no workaround at this time.
VPBAGENT-6808	Incorrect status and workflow when using Agent-side uninstall with password protection	There is no workaround at this time.
VPBAGENT-6756	Program Compatibility Assistant may pop up when Agent Uninstall is protected via password	There is no workaround at this time.
