Dear McAfee Beta Customer,

McAfee Engineering is very pleased to announce the Beta 5 release of the 5000 McAfee Scanning Engine. This will be the final Beta release for these packages. The McAfee Scanning Engine forms the core malware detection and repair component of many McAfee system security solutions. Building on the success of the 4400 release, the next generation of the McAfee Scan Engine will take the protection that we offer our customers to a higher level by offering these benefits:

* Elevated Protection: Improved automatic identification and removal of malware delivering to the customer the next generation of best-of-breed Scanning Engines. The 5000 Scan Engine offers improved protection against existing, new and future threats and increases the depth and breadth of protection that McAfee provides our customers.

* Faster Scanning: We've listened to customers who asked for a faster Scan Engine whilst maintaining unbeatable malware detection rates. The 5000 Engine delivers superior performance to current products using the McAfee Scan Engine on all supported platforms.

* Ease of Upgrade: 100% drop-in compatibility with the existing McAfee Scanning Engine and DAT files. It's easy to upgrade; just replace your existing Engine with the new version and you're protected. The Beta 5 software can be obtained from the 5000 Engine Beta web page here:

I noticed that this is available only to enterprise users. I hope they give VirusScan users the same update when it is released.
