  • Page 3 The Patch installation does not modify current settings to disable the Process on enable option. The VirusScan 8.7i NAP and extension that are included with the Patch do change the McAfee Default policy, but do not modify the My Default policy, or any custom policy settings that were made prior to the checkin of the new NAP/extension.
  • Page 4: Resolved Issues

    The installation was left in a state where some of the product information still showed as the older version. (Reference: 443019) Resolution: The McAfee Installation Designer configuration applicator has been changed to be more comprehensive in backing up and in version checking during the upgrade, in order to prevent failures by other McAfee product installations that require version 8.7i.
  • Page 5 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 6 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.
