Barracuda RMM 11.1 includes support for Avast Business Antivirus.
Avast Business Antivirus adds critical protection to PCs and Windows servers. Avast Business Antivirus lets you:

- Add extra firewall protection for remote endpoints
- Provide complete server protection
- Secure your email client
Upgrades to Antivirus Policies
As of Barracuda RMM 11.1, you no longer have to create separate Antivirus Policies for Workstations and Servers. Now you can keep all the settings that you want to apply to a group in a single Antivirus policy.
If you have AVG AntiVirus policies, when you upgrade to 11.1 and open your policies, you will see new tabs. After the upgrade, you will see the Workstation Settings, Server Settings, and Legacy tabs. The settings for AVG AntiVirus appear on the Legacy tab.
All your AVG AntiVirus settings appear on the Legacy Settings tab. If you want to continue to use AVG AntiVirus, you will find the settings for it on Legacy tab.
AVG AntiVirus is no longer being developed, however Antivirus definitions are still available for a limited time.
The replacement for AVG AntiVirus is Avast Business Antivirus. To upgrade, go to the Update Center.
