What’s new in CMS 2.4?

IMPROVED:
Localization – added more languages and implemented several text improvements. Thank you for your help on translations!
Design - CMS has new icons and a new background. We hope you like the new look!
FIXED:
Antivirus: Confirmation pop-up now always shown when a scan is cancelled.
Antivirus: Fixed rare bug whereby CMS would fail to detect malware.
Scheduled Tasks: Fixed bug whereby an anti-virus scan would fail on a scheduled task.
Health check: Fixed bug that meant Ad apps would not be detected during a health check.
Antivirus: Fixed bug whereby the quantity of malware listed as present was not updated after the malware had been uninstalled.
Health Check: Fixed bug that caused the “Dangerous Items” warning to be displayed even after an app had been added to the trusted list.
Antivirus: Fixed bug that caused dates in the log to be displayed incorrectly.

Various other minor functionality and design fixes.

It would be great if you can capture screen shots regarding the error.
How does it work? I have a malicious .apk not detected by CMS, but detected by Comodo Antivirus. I thought it will be scanned in the cloud (with Comodo AV) and I’ll get an alert. I was wrong. APK was not detected after installation.
Sorry, I learned that I was wrong about default settings for Cloud scan. You need to have active Wi-fi connection and “Enable cloud scan for APK only” should be enabled under settings to use Cloud scan. Then the process is as below.
-First a local scan is performed
-Then the file hash values are sent to File Lookup Service (FLS) and the result is fetched.
-If file defined as non-virus by both local base scan and cloud scan, CMS will consider the file as non-virus, in all other cases CMS will consider the file as virus
Ability to access private sms’s directly from the status bar (via password) rather than having to select “Tools” tab, Private Space, , Private Communication.
After installing the update, the firewall stopped working.
The solution, if anyone else has this issue, is (from Application Control) to clear Data, restart CMS. Redo your settings. Everything should be fine now.
İlker mentioned it but let me remind that the cloud scanning is working only when the device has WiFi connection. Since it is a new feature, we are cautious about side effects.
And I have to correct a misunderstanding: the .apk file is not sent to cloud (there are legal restrictions on that). Instead, only the hash value along with other descriptive information is sent.
