McAfee Virusscan 8.5i Patch 4 released

[AMRX]

The patch was released yesterday.

{QUOTE-> PATCH 4 RESOLVED ISSUES

1. ISSUE:
A crash can occur on some systems when the
On-Demand Scan Task includes the "Memory for
rootkits" scan item.

RESOLUTION:
The root kit detection driver has been updated
to better handle different processor
architectures.

2. ISSUE:
When a Quarantine Restore Task is run from
ePolicy Orchestrator without specifying a
restore item, the Scan32.exe process runs a full
scan and does not exit properly, leaving the
process orphaned.

RESOLUTION:
The VirusScan plug-in has been updated to check
if a restore item is specified. If not, the
restore task does not run.

3. ISSUE:
The VirusScan On-Demand Scanner has no option to
disable cookie detection alerts in the user
interface or registry.

RESOLUTION:
Alerts for On-Demand Scan cookie detections can
now be disabled by setting the DWORD
"bCookieAlerts" registry entry to 0.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\VSCore\Alert Client\VSE

4. ISSUE:
When a user is browsing the Internet, the
On-Access Scanner sometimes logs entries "Not
scanned (The file is encrypted)" on temporary
files that are locked for use by the browser.

RESOLUTION:
The reporting for these types of detections can
now be disabled by setting the registry DWORD
value "DoNotReportSkippedFiles" to 1.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\VSCore\On Access
Scanner\McShield\Configuration

NOTE:
If you previously installed VSE85HF328421, the
registry entry "DoNotReportSkippedFiles" is
already set to 1.

Well, it might be 8.0i patch 15. For some reason McAfee uses 8.0i as the AV component in their enterprise suite. I know that when 8.5i came out there was some griping by IT professionals about stuff that probably would have no effect on users that were unmanaged.
