Architectural changes
VirusScan Enterprise incorporatessome significant architectural changes that affect the manner in which the VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i core components work. These changes result in greater security benefits tocustomers, including:
* Better rootkit detection and cleaning without system restart Safe memory patching, better IRP repair support at the system core, and the ability toread locked files at the kernal level provide better rootkit detection and the ability to clean detections without restarting the system.
* Onaccess scan performanceimprovements during system startup A new boot cache process improves onaccess scan performance during system startup.
* Greater selfprotection The selfprotection feature hasbeen enhanced to protect against a wider range of malprocesses that can terminate McAfee processes. This provides greater VirusScan Enterprise selfprotection and productstability.
Realtime malware protection
A new feature, Heuristic network check for suspicious files, provides customers with realtime detections for malware.
* This featureuses 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.
* Whenenabled, this feature detects a suspicious program and sends a DNS request containing a fingerprint of the suspicious file to McAfee Avert Labs, which then communicates theappropriate action back to VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i.
* The realtime defense feature also provides protection for classes of malware for which signatures might not beavailable.
* This protection is in addition to the worldclass DATbased detection VirusScan Enterprise has always provided. The user experience remains the same and noadditional client software is required.
* In this release, this feature is available only for ondemand scans and email scanning and is disabled by default. You must select asensitivity level to enable the feature.
Performance improvements
* New scan deferral options improve local control of ondemand scans, including the ability to defer scanswhen using battery power or during presentations. One option can be configured to allow end users to defer scheduled ondemand scans for the increment of time you specify. Youcan specify hourly increments up to twentyfour hours, or forever.
* Enhanced system throttling now includes registry and memory scanning in addition to file scanning.
Improvedemail scanner
The email scanner now supports doublebyte and multibyte languages. This improves detection reliability.
Buffer overflow protection exclusions by API
The abilityto specify buffer overflow exclusions by API was removed from VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i, but has been reinstated for the VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i release. The API exclusionname is casesensitive.
Onaccess scanner Scan processes on enable
A new feature, Scan processes on enable, scans processes that are already running when the McShield servicebecomes enabled. This means that when the McShield service starts, the scanner examines any process that is already running and any process as it is launched.
Ondemand scanusability improvements
When initiating an ondemand rightclick scan, you can now choose an action to take on items detected by the scan. These options are available:
* Clean Report and clean the detection.
* Continue Report the detection and continue scanning.
