  • Enhanced the uninstallation process to completely remove all Zorus associated registry keys upon agent uninstallation
  • Included the "Malicious Domain List" and "Malicious URL List" in the Category field of the Block Page for easier review when examining blocked content locally

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue that caused the service to intermittently fail to start following a reboot on Windows Server 2016
  • Fixed an issue where the agent service blocked device DNS registration when processing Non-Query DNS Requests, unless the target destination (such as an Active Directory Server or its domain) was included in the whitelist
