McAfee has spent a significant amount of time finding, fixing, and testing the fixes in this release. [. . . ] Issue: Prolonged use of the VirusScan Console was causing delays in loading subsequent loading of the Console window. (Reference: 456831) Resolution: The VirusScan Console plug-in was corrected to properly clean up the . tmp files it creates at load time. Issue: Access Protection rules were being triggered during creation of a VirusScan customized installation package via McAfee Installation Designer. (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. Issue: Certain detections with multiple infections or clean actions were logging the action two times. One entry was made during the middle of the process, and the other during the final resolution. (Reference: 404787) Resolution: The Common Shell scanner has been updated to report only the final resolution of the detection. Issue: A 8E bugcheck (blue screen) might occur during the "Memory for Rootkits" portion of an on-demand scan. (Reference: 445490) Resolution: The code analysis driver now uses a more robust method of querying the system for driver object data. Issue: Access Protection block rules that were created for USB devices sometimes did not handle removing and reinserting the device multiple times. (Reference: 457415) Resolution: The Access Protection, Anti-Virus Filter, and Link drivers have been updated to better handle reinserting the device. 7. 8. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Issue: The on-access scanner was not properly utilizing the Scan files opened for Backup option. (Reference: 457416) Resolution: The Anti-Virus Filter driver has been rectified to properly interpret the flag being sent from the on-access scanner. 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. This lessens the CPU time involved during the agent Collect and Send Properties function. Issue: With certain Access Protection rules enabled, VirusScan Enterprise was failing to return information to the Checkpoint SecureClient software. (Reference: 444667) Resolution: The binaries for Checkpoint integration have been updated to properly request information from VirusScan Enterprise. Issue: Attempting to start an on-demand scan via the VirusScan tray icon could result in an error on Microsoft Windows Vista. (Reference: 446950) Resolution: The VirusScan tray icon correctly calls the on-demand scanner on User Access Controlled operating systems. Issue: Creating a McAfee Installation Designer change package for VirusScan Enterprise and the AntiSpyware Enterprise Module, sometimes failed to upgrade the evaluations to licensed versions, for both products. (Reference: 437509) Resolution: McAfee Installation Designer configuration applicator upgrades the licenses of VirusScan Enterprise and the AntiSpyware Enterprise Module when they are both evaluations. Issue: The VirusScan Console On-Delivery Email Scanner entry was not worded correctly in German.
