Issue: In deployments of VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i Patch 2 with McAfee Agent 4.5, the VirusScan tray plug- in does not appear until after a restart of the McAfee system tray icon. If VirusScan is uninstalled, the VirusScan tray plug-in is still visible until a similar restart. - Page 5 Microsoft Windows Defender. Issue: When VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i is installed on a system running Windows 2000, where the installation was customized using McAfee Installation Designer, a subsequent patch update might fail to install. (Reference: 489712) Resolution: The MSP installer modifies the cached MSI for VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i, on Windows 2000, in order to correct the source of failure.
- Page 6 Issue: Access Protection rules were being triggered during creation of a VirusScan customized installation package via McAfee Installation Designer. This could lead to a crash of the McAfee Installation Designer tool. (Reference: 435728) Resolution: The VirusScan Email Scan library appropriately handles the new Sensitivity level setting when it is displayed in the McAfee Installation Designer window.
- Page 7 Issue: In an ePolicy Orchestrator managed environment, the agent’s Collect and Send Properties function could cause the McAfee Product Manager service to spike its CPU utilization for extended periods of time. (Reference: 457421) Resolution: The VirusScan Management Plug-in has been updated to call for the scan engine and DAT files via a new API call, rather than initializing the engine to retrieve the information.
- Page 8 Issue: Events generated by the VirusScan Enterprise for Offline Virtual Images 1.0 software were not being generated in ePO reports. (Reference: 439832) Resolution: The McAfee Announcer library changed properties of the events to support current reporting in ePolicy Orchestrator 3.6.1.
