McAfee® VirusScan® Enterprise protects your desktop and file
servers
from a wide range of threats, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses,
and potentially unwanted code and programs. McAfee® VirusScan® 8 takes
anti-virus protection to the next level, integrating elements of
intrusion prevention and firewall technology into a single solution for
PCs and file servers. This powerful combination delivers truly
proactive protection from the newest of today’s threats-including
buffer - overflow exploits and blended attacks - and features advanced
outbreak management responses to reduce the damage and costs of
outbreaks. Everything is managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® or
ProtectionPilot™ for scalable security policy compliance and graphical
reporting.
*** Key Benefits :
- Integrated firewall and IPS technology - Addition of firewall and
intrusion prevention technology delivers maximum proactive protection
in a single, integrated package
- Enhanced coverage for emerging threats - VirusScan provides
protection from the newest potentially unwanted program security
threats (e.g., spyware), application-specific buffer overflow attacks,
and blended attacks
- Lowered TCO during outbreak response – Advanced outbreak
functionality closes the window of vulnerability before DAT files are
available, limiting damage by blocking the entrance and spread of the
outbreak
- McAfee scanning technology – Award-winning McAfee scan engine
performs in-memory scanning to block threats such as Netsky and
CodeRed, which don’t write their code to disk
- Centralized management and reporting – Integration with McAfee
ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot provides a complete security
management solution, including detailed graphical reporting, from a
single console

This version provides these new or improved features:
- Support for 64-bit operating systems. These features or products are not supported on 64-bit operating systems:
- Buffer Overflow Protection.
- Scanning of Lotus Notes databases.
- Alert Manager 4.7.1.
- Quarantine Manager Policy. Configure a policy to manage quarantined
items. Before the on-access or on-demand scanner cleans or deletes a
file, it creates a backup copy of the original file and registry value
in the quarantine directory. These backed-up items can be automatically
deleted after a specified number of days. You can also selectively
restore, delete, and rescan quarantined items.
- 5100 series scanning engine.
This product release provides these engine enhancements:
|-|- Incremental engine component updates. Allows engine components to
be updated without updating the entire engine. The engine version,
displayed in the VirusScan Enterprise "About" dialog box, shows both
the engine series and the latest incremental update version. For
example, 5100.0194.
|-|- Two versions of the 5100 series engine; a 32-bit version and a
64-bit version. The VirusScan Enterprise About dialog box displays the
32-bit engine version number and if the 64-bit engine is used, it also
displays the 64-bit engine version number.
- Ability to use different sets of detection definition (DAT) files
at the same time. For example, the engine can access the anti-virus,
buffer overflow, and access protection DAT files simultaneously. This
provides more efficient scanning and detection of threats.
-
Detection of rootkits in memory. The on-demand scanner can be
configured to scan system memory for installed rootkits. Rootkits
conceal running processes and files or system data, and are a threat if
an intruder uses the rootkit to maintain access to a system without the
user’s knowledge.
- Enhanced Access Protection. This feature prevents unwanted changes by
restricting access to specified ports, files and folders, shares,
registry keys and values. The rules have been enhanced to expand
exclusion capability and provide better protection:
- Access Protection rule configuration options include "Processes to
include" and "Processes to exclude." See the Access Protection section
of the VirusScan Enterprise Product Guide for details.
- Rules have been separated into Anti-virus, Common, Outbreak, and User-defined categories.
- Protection levels. When you install the product, you choose whether
to enable "Standard Protection" or "Maximum Protection" rules as the
default.
- Standard Protection. Anti-virus and common rules that protect some
critical settings and files from modification, but generally allow
installation and execution of legitimate software.
- Maximum Protection. Anti-virus and common rules that protect most
critical settings and files from modification. These rules provide more
protection, but might also prevent you from installing software. If you
are prevented from installing legitimate software, we recommend that
you disable the Access Protection feature before installing software,
then enable it again after installation. You can change which rules are
enabled and disabled after VirusScan Enterprise is installed.
