[. . . ] (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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
