McAfee VIRUSSCAN ENTERPRISE 8.7I PATCH 3 - RELEASE NOTES 09-02-2009 Release Note page 5

Resolution: The Link driver has been revised to cease processing outstanding IO requests immediately
upon being notified that device removal has occurred.
5. Issue: When an Access Protection warning existed in McAfee Security Status window, the warning status
clear function caused a crash. (Reference: 517265)
Resolution: The VirusScan tray files now have updated logic to handle the Access Protection messages in
the McAfee Security Status window.
6. Issue: When an On-Demand Scan task was created manually via console, but had not yet run, the task
started up at the next reboot. (Reference: 521200)
Resolution: The VirusScan task manager service prevented an uninitialized variable, which caused the task
to indicate that a scan was in progress.
7. Issue: On-Demand Scan tasks on Windows 2008 failed to authenticate to network shares with specified
credentials. (Reference: 503155)
Resolution: The On-Demand Scanner now requests the necessary elevated privileges to authenticate on
Windows 2008.
8. Issue: The On-Demand Scanner /LOG switch logged only part of the data from the scan in the specified
location, while the rest of the information was still recorded in the default location. (Reference: 525694)
Resolution: When Scan32.exe is executed via command line, it now reads from the default settings and
overwrites, but does not save, the setting based on what is specified with the command-line switches.
9. Issue: With VirusScan installed alongside the McAfee Agent 4.5 in an unmanaged environment, the
VirusScan legacy tray icon did not load. (Reference: 523823)
Resolution: The VirusScan Statistics tray icon now properly queries the McAfee Agent for version and
managed/unmanaged state before deciding to load itself.
10. Issue: Removing the current Patch from the system did not replace the Patch_ registry data from the
previous Patch. (Reference: 523806)
Resolution: The Microsoft Patch (MSP) installer now reverts the Patch_ registry information to the previous
version.
11. 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.
12. Issue: When a specific scan task had both Defer scan when using battery power and User may defer
scheduled scans options set, the user was still prompted to defer the scan when on battery power.
(Reference: 537126)
Resolution: The On-Demand Scan plug-in was changed so that the property option, User may defer
scheduled scans, is not encountered first, so it doesn't override the other selections.
13. Issue: The user dialog box for the scan task option, User may defer scheduled scans, did not appear when
VirusScan 8.7i was managed by the McAfee Agent 4.5. (Reference: 534348)
Resolution: The VirusScan Statistics tray plug-in was updated to include this same functionality from the
VirusScan Statistics legacy tray icon.
14. Issue: Using the %ProgramFiles% variable to exclude folders and files did not translate all possibilities
across 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems. To ensure you exclude any possible "Program files" location
(including "Program Files (x86)"), you had to enter the exclusions two ways: 1) "%programfiles%" 2) "%
programfiles(x86)%" (Reference: 491796)
Resolution: The Access Protection Filter API now always translates the %ProgramFiles% variable into all
lowercase to prevent the operating system from misinterpreting the intended location.
15. Issue: Some access protection policies were enforced by ePolicy Orchestrator when the Access Protection
feature was not installed to the system. (Reference: 503635)
Resolution: The VirusScan Management Plug-in now recognizes when the Access Protection feature is
installed or not and enforces policies accordingly.
16. Issue: The Task name entry for the default "Full Scan" used the translation string name instead of the
translated name. (Reference: 505217)
Resolution: The Announcer library now uses the proper translation name instead of the string.
