Defect fixes
Hefa - Bitdefender crashes autotransport code [HEFA-1] More
DescriptionUsers who had Bitdefender antivirus installed on their computers could not use ISL Light as the antivirus caused the ISL Light to crash. The problem was when trying to find a transport to our ISL Conference proxy Bitdefender crashed this part of the code. Function for finding transport has been redesigned and underlying protocols have been changed to find a working transport. Users will no longer experience any problems in ISL Light in connection to Bitdefender antivirus.
The defect was fixed.
