9. Issue: The on-access scanner did not properly time out when scanning large archives. This could lead to the
system failing to copy files. (Reference: 464768)
Resolution: The on-access scanner service now successfully times out at the interval specified in the user
interface.
10. Issue: When the on-delivery Outlook scanner received emails to scan, some keyboard entries could be lost.
(Reference: 480992)
Resolution: The Outlook scanner now handles the on-delivery scan of an email with Microsoft Outlook
2007, and caches the keys entered during that time.
11. Issue: When VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i was installed on a system running Windows 2008, uninstall fails.
(Reference: 496609)
Resolution: The Microsoft Patch (MSP) installer corrects a custom action that was preventing the re-
enabling of Microsoft Windows Defender.
12. Issue: When VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i is installed on a system running Windows 2000, where the
installation was customized using McAfee Installation Designer, a subsequent patch update might fail to
install. (Reference: 489712)
Resolution: The MSP installer modifies the cached MSI for VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i, on Windows 2000, in
order to correct the source of failure.
13. Issue: Silent installations might fail on hard drives that are designated as dynamic. The on-access scanner
service fails to start, and the installation rolls back. (Reference: 443669)
Resolution: The Patch 1 Repost and later installation packages now install to a dynamic disk, silently.
Patch 1 resolved issues:
1. Issue: An unauthenticated remote denial-of-service attack was discovered. (Reference: 470184)
Resolution: The product no longer allows the denial-of-service attack.
2. Issue: Under certain conditions, the Lotus Notes scanner of VirusScan Enterprise can mistakenly deny
access to the Lotus Notes internal processes, if a note was being accessed more than once. (Reference:
438541)
Resolution: The Lotus Notes scanner has been adjusted to better handle re-entrance scanning of the same
note.
3. Issue: Silent installs may fail on hard drives that are designated as dynamic. The on-access scanner service
fails to start, and the installation will roll back. (Reference: 443669)
Resolution: The patch 1 and later install packages will now install to a dynamic disk, silently.
4. Issue: Sporadic crashes were seen on multi-processor systems, with the Lotus Notes scanner file
ncdaemon.exe, during startup and general use of Lotus Notes. (Reference: 442337)
Resolution: The Lotus Notes scanner has been corrected to prevent a race condition where different
scanner threads were starting and stopping out of sequence.
5. Issue: A 8E bugcheck (blue screen) sometimes occurred when VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i was installed along
with Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient. (Reference: 438771)
Resolution: The link driver was updated to avoid probing kernel memory unnecessarily.
NOTE: For this fix to prevent the above issue, the files need to be placed on the system during the
installation of VirusScan Enterprise, before the services start. The repost of VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i with
Patch 1 will be needed to see the resolution.
6. Issue: A flaw in the caching algorithm sometimes caused files in removable media to not be scanned.
(Reference: 443104)
Resolution: The Anti-Virus Filter driver was updated to clear the cache of removable media upon attaching
to the system.
7. Issue: The on-access scanner contained a flaw in the scan on close logic. This could cause a file to be
queued up for scanning a second time. (Reference: 434475)
Resolution: The Anti-Virus Filter driver no longer queues these unnecessary scan requests.
8. Issue: During an upgrade from a customized VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i to VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i, An
issue sometimes occurred where the configuration tool did not properly backup and restore the registry
