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.
