McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Edition 8.0i released Aug 25th.

Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that we are in the process of posting VSE 8.0i

for general availability via the McAfee website on August 25th, 2004.

This process does take some time to populate to servers and then QA

downloads and validates the packages, so realistically you can expect to

grab the packages at 7 or 8 PM PST tonight.

We will be posting English, German, French, Japanese, Spanish and

Simplified Chinese packages and documentation. Then in 2 weeks the rest

of our 13 supported languages will be made available.

We greatly appreciate everyone's patience and focus on getting the facts

to us and helping us to assure the quality of the release.

The Beta email lists will be shutdown today. Thank you for your active

participation and stay tuned for more information on future

developments. For those who have expressed particular interest in a

topic, for example the Potentially Unwanted Programs, our Product

Management will keep you informed separately regarding further

developments and opportunities for input and participation.

I tried the beta version of this through my college. Very simple interface, nice on-demand scanning, and the intrusion/buffer overflow detection was great without the need for a commerical firewall.

Radish?

It works great. We are using the entire suite here at work.

The Installation Designer lets you customize the install, including schedules, updating, alerting, policies, etc.

The AutoUpdate Architect is a managed intranet DAT repository (Kinda like a windows update for AV)

The Alert Manager can email, page, broadcast, etc virus outbreaks, etc.

It's working so good, it's sending alerts to things not expected. I had one yesterday, where the guy had his resume' and some job postings on a floppy that he was working on, and it caught a macro virus in them, and alerted us. So now his boss knows he is job hunting on company time. :devil:

It's catching all kinds of adware, etc.

And if you decide you want to change settings on it at a later date, you can create a new set of settings and push them, and they take effect on reboot, without having to uninstall and reinstall the full client.

And the new features of 8.0 are real nice, by default, it prevents IE, and Outlook from creating/running various extensions, allows you to block certain ports, but still specifiy applications which are allowed to use them. Has buffer overrun protection, integrates into the Windows Scripting, to help prevent script viruses. All kinds of goodness. :D

Piracy is a big no no for me. I'm just throwing out questions for you guys who have tested it.

edit: Using Panda right now. 1 yr free trial.  :yes:

How did you get the 1 year free trial? I got the full version of a security campaign website sponsored by Panda but you need to register it after 30 days for updates.

This new version of VirusScan also looks quite good.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
