SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS & INSTALLATION

See the VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 Installation
Guide for details on installing the product.
The Installation Guide is available for
download from the McAfee web site or product
CD.


INSTALLING LOCALIZED VERSIONS

VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 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 7.0 on a French
version of Windows. However, the English
language version of VirusScan Enterprise 7.0
can be installed on any supported operating
system in any language.


VIRUSSCAN ENTERPRISE 7.0 AND ALERT MANAGER

VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 can only send alerts
to Alert Manager 4.7. It cannot send alerts to
older versions of Alert Manager.

Furthermore, VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 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 7.0 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 7.0 AND SUPERDAT MANAGER

VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 does not support
updates using SuperDAT Manager version 1.4 or
earlier. To create SuperDAT packages for
VirusScan Enterprise 7.0, only use the new
SuperDAT Manager version 1.5.


VIRUSSCAN ENTERPRISE 7.0 AND WEBSCANX

Previous versions of VirusScan contained three
extra scan components that together were known
as WebScan X: 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 7.0 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 7.0 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 7.0 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.

_______________________________________________
KNOWN ISSUES

MOST IMPORTANT KNOWN ISSUE

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.


ePOLICY ORCHESTRATOR COMPATABILITY ISSUES

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. 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.

4. 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.


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.


UPDATING WITH AUTOUPDATE 7.0

The "Known Issues" in this section pertain to
updating using the new McAfee AutoUpdate 7.0
component.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The AutoUpdate 7.0 component does not remove
   the update packages from the local update
   repository that was created during the
   update process when the update is not
   applied successfully.

   NOTE:
   If you are using ePolicy Orchestrator to
   deploy VirusScan Enterprise, the deployment
   package files (setup.exe and other
   supporting files) are intentionally left on
   the client computer after the product
   installation, regardless of whether the
   installation succeeds or fails.

4. When a user with user rights (as opposed to
   an administrator with administrative 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.

5. 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.


SCAN ISSUES

1. VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 is set by default
   to scan "All files" to ensure the best
   anti-virus protection. Previous versions of
   VirusScan and NetShield were set by default
   to scan "Default" files only. For a
   comparable level of protection and
   performance compared to past versions,
   configure VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 to scan
   only "Default + additional file types".
   Note, however, that because of other
   performance enhancements to this version of
   the software, leaving scan options set to
   "All files" may not cause any noticeable
   performance slow-down compared to older
   versions.
