NEW FEATURES


-  Check Point VPN-1/Firewall-1SCV
   integration. The VirusScan Enterprise
   software has been updated to integrate with
   Check Point VPN-1/Firewall-1SCV. When
   installed and enabled, the Check Point
   product can be configured to prevent clients
   without up-to-date anti-virus protection
   from accessing the corporate network through
   the VPN.

-  McAfee Installation Designer and McAfee
   Desktop Firewall integration. Use McAfee
   Installation Designer to configure McAfee
   Desktop Firewall with VirusScan Enterprise
   7.1.0. This allows you to configure and
   deploy both products together and reduce
   restarts to a maximum of one.

-  Smaller installation package. The
   installation package has been optimized
   using Netopsystems Fast Electronic
   Application Distribution (FEAD Optimizer)
   technology. This reduces network bandwidth
   required in deployments. You can use McAfee
   Installation Designer 7.1 to recompose the
   installation package, then optimize it again
   after changes have been made. When executing
   SETUP.EXE from the command line, you can
   apply special commands and switches to
   recompose the installation files.

-  Engine and DAT files are back inside of the
   .MSI file. The engine and DAT files that
   were located outside of the .MSI file for
   ViruScan Enterprise 7.0.0 are now included
   in the .MSI file for VirusScan Enterprise
   7.1.0. This allows customers who utilize
   deployment methods that require a single
   .MSI file to easily deploy the product.
   McAfee Installation Designer can still be
   used to insert new engine and DAT files into
   the VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 package.

-  Visibility of ePolicy Orchestrator tasks. If
   you are using ePolicy Orchestrator to manage
   VirusScan Enterprise, you can view ePolicy
   Orchestrator tasks for on-demand scan,
   update, and mirror in the VirusScan Console.
   This allows end-users to see all tasks being
   run on their computers and also allows
   administrators and help desk operators to
   more easily debug ePolicy Orchestrator tasks
   over the phone.

-  Error reporting. Use this utility to track
   and log failures in the Network Associates
   software and submit the information to
   Network Associates. Automatic analysis of
   the issue compares it to a list of known
   issues and redirects the user to a knowledge
   base article or HotFix that should resolve
   the problem.

INSTALLATION AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Please see product documentation for complete
information regarding installation and system
requirements.

INSTALLING LOCALIZED VERSIONS

VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 is available in
several languages. Note that each
foreign-language version of VirusScan
Enterprise can only be installed on an
operating system of the same language. For
example, you can only install the French
version of VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 on a
French version of Windows. However, the English
language version of VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0
can be installed on any supported operating
system in any language.


VIRUSSCAN ENTERPRISE 7.1.0 AND ALERT MANAGER

VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 can only send alerts
to Alert Manager 4.7. It cannot send alerts to
older versions of Alert Manager.

Furthermore, VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 cannot
be installed on a computer where old versions
of Alert Manager, versions 4.5 or 4.6, are
already installed. If you are installing
VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 onto a system where
Alert Manager 4.5 or 4.6 is installed, you
should also install Alert Manager 4.7, which
automatically replaces the older version of
Alert Manager.

However, also note that Alert Manager 4.7 can
receive alerts from older versions of NetShield
and VirusScan. You can configure older versions
of these software programs to send alerts to an
installation of Alert Manager 4.7.


VIRUSSCAN ENTERPRISE 7.1.0 AND SUPERDAT
MANAGER

VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 does not support
updates using SuperDAT Manager version 1.4 or
earlier. To create SuperDAT packages for
VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0, only use the new
SuperDAT Manager version 1.6 or later.


VIRUSSCAN ENTERPRISE 7.1.0 AND WEBSCANX

Previous versions of VirusScan contained three
extra scan components that together were known
as WebScanX: E-mail Scan, Download Scan, and
Internet Filter. These components augmented the
scan capabilities provided by VirusScans core
On-Access and On-Demand scanners.

VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 retains the E-mail
scanning portion of WebScan X, but no longer
includes the Download Scanner or the Internet
Filter. The protection provided by Download
Scanner or the Internet Filter has been
incorporated into other components of the
VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 product. This allows
us to provide the same level of protection but
with a much smaller footprint and fewer
components to manage.


TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION

You can test the operation of the software by
running the EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File
on any computer where you have installed the
software. The EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test
File is a combined effort by anti-virus vendors
throughout the world to implement one standard
by which customers can verify their anti-virus
installations.

To test your installation:

1. Copy the following line into its own file,
   then save the file with the name EICAR.COM.

      X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

   The file size will be 68 or 70 bytes.

2. Start your anti-virus software and allow it
   to scan the directory that contains
   EICAR.COM.

   When VirusScan Enterprise scans this file,
   it will report finding the EICAR test file.

3. Delete the file when you have finished
   testing your installation to avoid alarming
   unsuspecting users.

   IMPORTANT:
   Please note that this file is NOT A VIRUS.


_____________________________________________________
RESOLVED ISSUES

The following list describes issues from the
previous release of this software product that
have been resolved with this current release of
the product.


1. ISSUE:
   If you use ePolicy Orchestrator 2.5.1 to
   force installation of VirusScan 4.5.1 and
   VirusScan Enterprise 7.0, ePolicy
   Orchestrator installs both products on the
   client computer. Normally in this situation,
   ePolicy Orchestrator should only install the
   more recent version, VirusScan Enterprise
   7.0.

   RESOLUTION:
   Issue resolved to install only the more
   recent version of VirusScan Enterprise.

2. ISSUE:
   When using ePolicy Orchestrator 2.5.1 to
   force installation of NetShield 4.5 for
   Windows NT on a client system where
   VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 is already
   installed, ePolicy Orchestrator installs
   NetShield. Normally in this situation,
   ePolicy Orchestrator should recognize that a
   newer version, VirusScan Enterprise 7.0,
   already exists on the client system and not
   install the older version, NetShield 4.5.

   RESOLUTION:
   Issue resolved for ePolicy 3.0, but is still
   an issue for ePolicy 2.5.1. ePolicy
   Orchestrator 3.0 recognizes that a newer
   version already exists and does not install
   the older version, NetShield 4.5.

3. ISSUE:
   Resumable scanning does not work for
   on-demand scan tasks created and deployed
   using ePolicy Orchestrator 2.5.1 or the beta
   version of ePolicy Orchestrator 3.0. This
   occurs if the on-demand scan created in
   ePolicy Orchestrator ends before the scan
   completes (due to a time-out, system
   shut-down, etc). When the on-demand scan
   task starts again, it begins scanning again
   at the beginning, rather than resume from
   the last file scanned.

   RESOLUTION:
   Issue resolved for ePolicy 3.0, but is still
   an issue for ePolicy 2.5.1. Resumable
   scanning works correctly for on-demand scan
   tasks that are created and deployed using
   ePolicy Orchestrator.

4. ISSUE
   When a user with user rights (as opposed to
   an administrator with administrator rights)
   rolls back DAT files, the following error
   occurs:

      "Failed to save the version of the DATs
      that have just been rolled back"

   This means that VirusScan Enterprise failed
   to create the correct registry key
   identifying that the rollback has occurred.
   Because of this, performing an update can
   allow the rolled-back DATs to be reapplied.
   This can cause problems if the rolled-back
   DAT versions were indeed corrupted (usually
   the reason for performing a DAT rollback).

   Normally, VirusScan Enterprise does not
   allow updating of DAT versions that have
   been rolled back.

   NOTE:
   This problem only occurs when a
   non-administrator performs the DAT rollback.
   When administrators do it, the rolled-back
   DAT versions cannot be applied through
   updating.


   RESOLUTION:
   Issue resolved. Rolled back DATs cannot be
   reapplied.


_____________________________________________________
KNOWN ISSUES

ePOLICY ORCHESTRATOR COMPATABILITY

1. If you use ePolicy Orchestrator 2.5.1 to
   force installation of VirusScan 4.5.1 and
   VirusScan Enterprise 7.0, ePolicy
   Orchestrator installs both products on the
   client computer. Normally in this situation,
   ePolicy Orchestrator should only install the
   more recent version, VirusScan Enterprise
   7.0.

2. ISSUE:
   When using ePolicy Orchestrator 2.5.1 to
   force installation of NetShield 4.5 for
   Windows NT on a client system where
   VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 is already
   installed, ePolicy Orchestrator installs
   NetShield. Normally in this situation,
   ePolicy Orchestrator should recognize that a
   newer version, VirusScan Enterprise 7.0,
   already exists on the client system and not
   install the older version, NetShield 4.5.

3. When you are adding the McAfee AutoUpdate
   7.0 policy to the software repository in
   ePolicy Orchestrator 2.5.1 and you are
   prompted to enable software deployment,
   select "No."

   If you select "Yes" the following errors may
   appear:

   -  "Error downloading policy translation
      file for VIRUSSCAN7000. Do you want to
      continue?"

   -  "Error downloading HTTP:\\...\POLICY.TPL.
      Do you want to continue?"

   Note that if you do select "Yes" and see
   these errors, they are harmless and can be
   ignored. After clicking "Yes" to both, you
   should see a confirmation message that the
   policy was added successfully.


INSTALLING AND UPGRADING

1. Some install functionality is not present
   when you install using MSIEXEC.EXE.  In
   particular, SETUP.EXE must be used to
   perform an upgrade or over-install of any
   McAfee or competitors anti-virus product.
   If you do use MSIEXEC.EXE to install
   VirusScan, you must first remove any
   existing anti-virus products.

2. This release supports deployment using
   Administration Installation Points (AIP).
   However, you must run SETUP.EXE from the AIP
   to perform upgrades or to uninstall other
   anti-virus software.  Note that if you
   deploy VirusScan Enterprise via Active
   Directory group policies, which installs
   using MSIEXEC.EXE, you must remove any
   existing anti-virus product prior to
   installing VirusScan Enterprise.


UNINSTALLING

1. When the uninstaller program (UNI) removes
   the Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus
   program silently, it actually isn't
   completely silent. UNI by default uses a
   silent uninstall method, but the Computer
   Associates eTrust Antivirus program displays
   a message box stating that a reboot is
   needed with an OK button. Once the OK button
   is clicked, installation of VirusScan
   Enterprise 7.1.0 continues uninstalling
   normally. This problem is referenced on
   Computer Associates web site under article
   QO19636. They have a downloadable file which
   fixes this problem. The problem references
   Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus version
   6.0, but the fix also works for version
   7.0.


UPDATING WITH AUTOUPDATE

The "Known Issues" in this section pertain to
updating using the McAfee AutoUpdate
component.

1. Updating from a mapped drive only works if
   you are logged on when the update occurs and
   you have at least read rights to that mapped
   drive location. If no one is logged on to
   the system, or if you are logged on but do
   not have at least read rights to the mapped
   location, the update fails.

2. When editing the repository list to use a
   UNC path, the "Edit AutoUpdate Repository
   List" dialog box does not validate that the
   path entered is in fact a valid UNC share
   before accepting. Be sure that you enter a
   valid UNC server, share, and path name.
   Entering an invalid UNC path could cause
   problems with updating from this location.

3. If updating an EXTRA.DAT file manually, for
   example by copying it to the engine folder,
   you must restart the VirusScan Enterprise
   E-mail, On-Demand, and On-Access scanners
   before they can detect and use the new
   EXTRA.DAT file.

   -  For E-mail Scan, close and then restart
      Microsoft Outlook.

   -  For the On-Demand Scan, stop and re-start
      the on-demand scanner using the VirusScan
      Enterprise Console.

   -  For On-Access Scan, disable and then
      re-enable the On-Access scanner using the
      VirusScan Enterprise Console.

      NOTE:
      Updating EXTRA.DATs using AutoUpdate does
      not require manually restarting
      scanners.


4. If you are using content scanning and
   filtering software on your network, you may
   experience some problems with updating. This
   can occur if your content filtering software
   modifies a McAfee update package.
