[. . . ] (Reference: 438541) Resolution: The Lotus Notes scanner has been adjusted to better handle re-entrance scanning of the same note. Issue: Silent installs may fail on hard drives that are designated as dynamic. The on-access scanner service fails to start, and the installation will roll back. (Reference: 443669) Resolution: The patch 1 and later install packages will now install to a dynamic disk, silently. Issue: Sporadic crashes were seen on multi-processor systems, with the Lotus Notes scanner file ncdaemon. exe, during startup and general use of Lotus Notes. (Reference: 442337) Resolution: The Lotus Notes scanner has been corrected to prevent a race condition where different scanner threads were starting and stopping out of sequence. Issue: A 8E bugcheck (blue screen) sometimes occurred when VirusScan Enterprise 8. 7i was installed along with Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient. (Reference: 438771) Resolution: The link driver was updated to avoid probing kernel memory unnecessarily. NOTE: For this fix to prevent the above issue, the files need to be placed on the system during the installation of VirusScan Enterprise, before the services start. The repost of VirusScan Enterprise 8. 7i with Patch 1 will be needed to see the resolution. Issue: A flaw in the caching algorithm sometimes caused files in removable media to not be scanned. (Reference: 443104) Resolution: The Anti-Virus Filter driver was updated to clear the cache of removable media upon attaching to the system. Issue: The on-access scanner contained a flaw in the scan on close logic. (Reference: 434475) Resolution: The Anti-Virus Filter driver no longer queues these unnecessary scan requests. Issue: During an upgrade from a customized VirusScan Enterprise 8. 5i to VirusScan Enterprise 8. 7i, An issue sometimes occurred where the configuration tool did not properly backup and restore the registry 2. 3. 4. 5. 7. 8. information. 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 check-ing during the upgrade, in order to prevent failures by other McAfee product installations that require version 8. 7i. NOTE: For this fix to prevent the above issue, the files need to be placed on the system during the installation of VirusScan Enterprise, before the services start. The repost of VirusScan Enterprise 8. 7i with Patch 1 will be needed to see the resolution. Issue: On Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 or 2008 server, sharing violations could occur when working with remote files while network drive scanning was enabled. This resulted in being denied access to files, or being unable to modify or save a file. (Reference: 447282) Resolution: The Anti-Virus Filter driver has been updated to better handle potential sharing violations that could occur and avoid conflicts.
