The Netsweeper Client Filter 11.20 EA is now available. This release adds the initial version of nUpdate which allows our Windows Client Filter to be kept up to date from the WebAdmin Client FIlter Settings using the Netsweeper 8.2.1 or above server. The 11.20 also fixes shutdown and upgrade problems with our nsdivert.sys driver which has been enabled by default in the 11.x release. The Netsweeper Client Filter 11 will be expanding our stable and proven Client Filter technology and introducing some new features and improvements. Customers should upgrade to the 10 GA release, and for those waiting for the improvements listed in the release notes for 11.20 EA, they can consider testing these improvements and rolling them out to their production networks.

We anticipate rolling out many advancements and improvement to the Client Filter 11 over the next few months.

  • Improvement to memory usage on all platforms
  • Automated Client Filter device registration with the WebAdmin interface allowing for improved functionality
  • Improved internationalization support allows customers to easily install Windows in different languages
