1 | Issue — McTray.exe stopped working when logging off or during upgrades. (Reference: 753122) Resolution — Fixed a timing issue in the VirusScan Enterprise plug-in. |
2 | Issue — Windows Server 2008 Server systems did not delete session when users logged out, so system resources continue to be consumed by inactive sessions. (Reference: 778101) Resolution — Revised the mfehidk.sys driver to eliminate a dependence on resources that might not be freed when a user logs out. |
3 | Issue — Margin settings are altered (reset) when viewing settings on localized Outlook version on English operating system. (Reference: 782155 ) Resolution — VirusScan Enterprise Outlook Email scanner now writes registry data using installed locale instead of the user locale format. |
4 | Issue — Command-line On-Demand Scans ignored the /logformat switch, and instead wrote logs in the default format (UTF-8). (Reference: 786061) Resolution — The /logformat settings are now used and scan logs are written in proper format. |
5 | Issue — Bugchecks could occur in mfehidk.sys. (Reference: 797573, 795174) Resolution — Modified mfehidk.sys to ensure that context data is passed between pre-operation and post-operation handlers in a manner that doesn't cause invalid memory references. |
6 | Issue — ePolicy Orchestrator administrators could not reliably determine the status of the On-Access Scans on client systems. (Reference: 820636) Resolution — VirusScan Enterprise now reliably reflects the status of On-Access Scans on the client system |
7 | Issue — McShield timed out after a DAT update. (Reference: 825043) Resolution — Resolved a deadlock condition between the pause for update and trust validation. |
8 | Issue — On systems with large amounts of RAM and multiple cores, On-Demand Scans quit partially through scan activity. (Reference: 825623) Resolution — Repaired a memory leak in the On-Demand Scan process. The read activity no longer increases memory usage for entire scan. |
9 | Issue — The Help File provided with VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 Patch 2 was incorrect and did not include all languages. (Reference: 826008) Resolution — This patch includes the correct help file with correct localization support. |
10 | Issue — On-Demand Scan exclusions were not properly excluded during scans. (Reference: 826029) Resolution — Fixed the path comparison when the exclusion list includes items in a combination of file names with no extensions, path names, and wildcards. |
11 | Issue — The Outlook On-Demand scanner skipped scanning some items in PST files over 1GB when new mail activity was received. (Reference: 832626) Resolution — The Outlook On-Demand Scan no longer counts incoming mail as part of storage scan. |
12 | Issue — If the system has multiple network adapters and Receive Side Scaling enabled, the server could accumulate an unlimited backlog of uncompleted UDP I/O, possibly exhausting memory. (Reference:835879, 847944) Resolution — Removed a bottleneck in the mfewfpk.sys driver that unnecessarily throttled network traffic. |
13 | Issue — In the ePolicy Orchestrator console, administrators reaching the text box limits for Access Protection policies: Rule Inclusions and Rule Exclusions fields were not warned before the limit was exceeded. (Reference: 835948) Resolution — Increased text box sizes to allow over 5000 characters. In addition, ePolicy Orchestrator displays red warning text when fewer than 200 character spaces are available and again when fewer than 50 characters spaces are available. |
14 | Issue — Installation of VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 failed on some Windows XP and Windows 2003 systems. (Reference: 838476, 847143, 847220) Resolution — Non-critical installation requirements were adjusted so that installation can proceed on these systems. |
15 | Issue — When multiple scan threads attempted to retrieve the virus list from DATs, the scanner threw an exception. (Reference: 851415, 848878, 850549) Resolution — Scan threads retrieving the list of virus names are now protected from change by other threads. |
16 | Issue — When a file was excluded based on time, McShield threw an exception while processing ELAM reports. (Reference: 879062) Resolution — Time-based On-Access Scan exclusions are no longer processed during ELAM validation. |
17 | Issue — On 64-bit systems, when opening the VirusScan Enterprise Console, an error sometimes occurred: unable to connect to McAfee task manager service. (Reference: 879062) Resolution — Revised McAfee Task Manager to ensure process connections are available. |
18 | Issue — Bugcheck 24 occurred during the use of some virtualization products and included the Microsoft Filter Manager framework. (Reference: 889000, 906611) Resolution — Fixed VirusScan Enterprise to ensure that I/O operations are always passed back to the Microsoft Filter Manager framework, when it is used. |
19 | Issue — A bugcheck could be caused when internal configuration data was being processed at the same time it was being updated. (Reference: 897517) Resolution — Revised VirusScan Enterprise to ensure that configuration data is not modified while it is being processed. |
20 | Issue — In Metro mode, ScriptScan fails to load and execute. WWAHost.exe, which hosts and executes Metro Apps that use Java scripts, loads DLLs only from the system folder or apps package folder. ScriptScan resides in %program files%\systemcore folder. (Reference: 898855) Resolution — Added proper access rights to ScriptScan so that WWAHost.exe can load it. |
21 | Issue — When matching file paths against Access Protection rules, the Access Protection driver could cause a system crash when the file path length is a certain size (including user-defined rules). (Reference:757986) Resolution — Improved string length tracking when performing rule matching operations. |
22 | Issue — A vulnerability allowed for unauthorized privilege escalation by an authenticated user. (Reference: 789945)Resolution — This update resolves the vulnerability. Refer to online Security Bulletin SB10034 for the most current details. |
23 | Issue — McShield service remains in "Stop Pending" status. (Reference: 916102) Resolution — Fixed thread synchronization issue related to update certificates thread and service main thread. |
24 | Issue — In certain environments, scheduled on-demand scans with credentials could fail due to an authentication failure even with correct credentials. (Reference: 778589) Resolution — When authentication fails in these environments, Vsplugin now uses an alternative credential authentication method to launch the on-demand scan task successfully.
