This release of VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i contains defect fixes, incorporates the Beta 2 release of the 5300 scanning engine, and a number of features that improve performance of malware scanning and incorporates functional and usability improvements. Providing this new functionality required making architectural changes to the product infrastructure. While we have performed extensive testing to ensure that these changes don’t impact the overall stability of the product, we urge you to download this beta version, test all features in environments that are similar to your production environments, and provide us feedback to help us further improve the stability and quality of the release.

Enhance your security with real-time malware protection now available with VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i!

We would like to call your attention to a new security feature that was introduced in the Beta 2 release of VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i. This real-time threat protection feature, shown in the product user interface and ePolicy Orchestrator as "Heuristic network check for suspicious files," provides customers using VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i with real-time detections for malware. This feature uses sensitivity levels that can be configured based on your risk tolerance, to look for suspicious files on your endpoints that are running VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i. When VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i, with this feature enabled, detects a suspicious program, it sends a DNS request containing a fingerprint of the suspicious file to McAfee Avert Labs which then communicates the appropriate action back to VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i. The real-time defense feature also provides protection for classes of malware for which signatures may not be available. This protection is in addition to the world-class DAT-based detection VirusScan Enterprise has always provided. The user experience remains the same and no additional client software is required. In this release, this optional feature is available only for On-Demand Scans and Email Scanning and is disabled by default. You must select a sensitivity level to enable the feature. We encourage you to try out this feature and provide us valuable feedback so that we can continue to enhance our industry leading malware protection capabilities. See the New Features tab and the Product Guide for more details.
