8.7发布后不知道大家是否满意，以至于可能忘记了8.5这个相对完善的版本。其实我猜很多人都是奔着新版的Artemis technology(即坊间翻译的月神计划)去的，但是小柯再次提醒大家，artemis技术8.5也一样具备，白金级客户可以向客服索取升级。
该补丁已于昨日有限发布，参加Managed release program即可获取补丁，详情请联系你的客服。该补丁公开发布的时间为11月底。
具体性能上的改进有2项，分别为优化了按需扫描器，以及更新了溢出保护的特征库。
Bug的修补为10项
IMPROVEMENTS 1. The on-demand scanner has been updated to better
use the System Utilization setting throughout the
entire scanning process.
Refer to McAfee Support Knowledgebase article
9197288 for further information.
2. This Patch contains a new Buffer Overflow and
Access Protection DAT (version 378), which adds an
Access Protection category for Virtual Machine
Protection. These rules provide access protection
functionality for virtual machines.
NOTE:
To manage the new Virtual Machine Protection
category with ePolicy Orchestrator 3.x or
ProtectionPilot, you must use the latest NAP file,
included in this Patch package, or VirusScan 8.5i
Repost Patch 5.
For ePolicy Orchestrator 4.x users, the Extension
update also contains the updated rule file. The
updated Extension package is available on the web
product download area under the Patches category.

PATCH 7 RESOLVED ISSUES
1. ISSUE:
When installing a VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i patch,
the existing On-Access Scanner service might fail
to unload. This leads to two instances of the
service, with one consuming a high amount of CPU
usage.
RESOLUTION:
The On-Access Scanner service had been updated to
avoid a runaway thread scenario that caused the
service, being replaced, to not stop.
NOTE:
To avoid this issue while installing Patch 7 or
later, install HF427887 first. Refer to McAfee
Support KnowledgeBase article 616344 for further
information.
2. ISSUE:
Changes to the VirusScan Enterprise core subsystem
disabled performance optimization for handling
frequent write actions to INI and LOG files.
RESOLUTION:
The Anti-Virus Filter Driver was corrected to
ensure that scanning of specified file extensions
is optimized, as in previous versions.
3. ISSUE:
A three-party deadlock occurred, causing the
On-Access Scanner to become blocked until it times
out. This causes the scanner service to time out
and eventually self-terminate.
RESOLUTION:
The Common Shell scanner has been updated to
prevent the On-Access Scanner from becoming blocked
while the security libraries are loaded by the
system.
4. ISSUE:
The extended reports NAP contained some ePolicy
Orchestrator stored procedures that were needed to
add support for the VirusScan product line. The
ePolicy Orchestrator patches have since made new
modifications to the same stored procedures.
Therefore, when the VirusScan extended reports NAP
is checked in after the new ePolicy Orchestrator
modified procedures are in place, they are
overwritten and the newer functionality is lost.
RESOLUTION:
The VirusScan extended reports NAP has been revised
to no longer replace the ePolicy Orchestrator
stored procedures.
5. ISSUE:
If the Lotus Notes client is running during the
uninstall of VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i, the Lotus
Notes Scanner entries might not be properly removed
from the NOTES.INI file. This can cause the Lotus
Notes client to crash on subsequent starts.
RESOLUTION:
The Lotus Notes Scanner module has been corrected
to remove its entries in the NOTES.INI file for all
scenarios.
6. ISSUE:
The VirusScan Enterprise Patch installer did not
correctly preserve the MIDFileTime registry value.
This caused the McAfee Installation Designer (MID)
.CAB files to be re-applied at the time of
installation.
RESOLUTION:
The Patch installer has been updated to correctly
preserve the binary value of MIDFileTime.
7. ISSUE:
Changes made in Microsoft Vista SP1 and later, in
how the operating system opens/views network files,
caused delays in opening new network paths, with
the On-Access Scanner’s Network Scanning feature
enabled.
RESOLUTION:
The link driver has been modified to use a
different method of accessing the network resources
that avoids the delays imposed by the operating
system change.
8. ISSUE:
A 7E bugcheck (blue screen) might occur if an
application shut down immediately after sending
data over the network.
RESOLUTION:
The link driver has been revised to better handle
data that is transmitted by applications after the
driver has stopped.
9. ISSUE:
When the VirusScan NAP is checked in, it runs a
script that enables anti-spyware settings in
policies and tasks, if the AntiSpyware 8.5 module
NAP is in the ePolicy Orchestrator repository. The
intended purpose of the script is similar to the
local AntiSpyware module installer, which enables
its settings when installed on a local system.
RESOLUTION:
The VirusScan NAP has been updated so that the
script is disabled during check-in of the VirusScan
NAP package. This prevents the anti-spyware
settings from being enabled when updating the
VirusScan NAP.
NOTE:
The McAfee AntiSpyware 8.5 module NAP has the same
script in it. This means that if the McAfee
AntiSpyware 8.5 module NAP is installed after the
VirusScan NAP, the anti-spyware settings are still
enabled.
10. ISSUE:
Servers that deal with many file writes were
becoming unresponsive.
RESOLUTION:
The anti-virus filter driver was revised to
correctly filter and dispatch scans on write. |
