[. . . ] (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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 17. Issue: The Network Port Access Protection Rule window under the user-defined access protection policies did not always display an OK or Cancel button. (Reference: 517382) Resolution: The VirusScan 8. 7i extension has been updated to properly display the buttons. Issue: The threat event 1119 event showed an incorrect Engine and DAT version when an update failed or was cancelled. (Reference: 468233) Resolution: The AutoUpdate application now reports the proper information for the event. Issue: The process name involved in a Buffer Overflow detection did not show in the ePolicy Orchestrator query "Top 10 Buffer Overflows Detected". (Reference: 459789) Resolution: VirusScan Reports extension was corrected to display the information under the proper column name. Issue: The query "Number of Detections by Tag" did not execute properly on ePolicy Orchestrator 4. 5. (Reference: 460304) Resolution: The VirusScan Reports extension now uses the proper column validation. 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. Issue: Processes that ended were still listed in Task Manager. [. . . ] On the ePolicy Orchestrator Properties tab for each computer, the VirusScan 8. 7i General branch displays two entries: Patch ­ Displays the current Patch installed. Fixes - Displays any number of Hotfixes listed in the registry. A check is involved to verify that the Hotfix/Patch matches the entry in the registry to the private build description of the binary. If the two don't match, the Patch or Hotfix does not appear. [. . . ]
