Issue: In deployments of VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i Patch 2 and later 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 Resolution: The Microsoft Patch (MSP) installer now reverts the Patch_ registry information to the previous version. Issue: If VirusScan was set to show its tray settings with minimal options, the McAfee Agent 4.5 tray icon did not display an item under Managed Products. (Reference: 528792) Resolution: The VirusScan Statistics tray plug-in now uses the legacy Help/About as a menu option when VirusScan is set to Show the system tray icon with minimal menu options.
- Page 6 Issue: The Access Protection and Buffer Overflow rule file that was contained in the VirusScan extension introduced an incorrectly defined variable that prevented the McAfee Agent from calling back to the ePolicy Orchestrator server if custom policies were made to the rules. (Reference: 530900) Resolution: The VirusScan Extension has been updated to include a revised Access Protection and Buffer Overflow rule that does not have this variable.
- Page 7 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 8 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 9 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.
- Page 10 show up correctly when they were enforced on the client. (Reference: 457420) Resolution: The VirusScan 8.5i extension has been updated to strip any preceding blank spaces from exclusions when they are entered in ePolicy Orchestrator.
