Mcafee 2008 Virusscan Enterprise [antivirus & Antispyware]

Hi,We are using McAfee Antivirus and Antispyware Enterprise 8.5.0i. We has been using Escan antivirus untill last 3 months when we switched over to mcafee. We can still see that McAfee is not able clean the spywares eg; adware, when u save now adware. And many more. We get eh alert 'Virus detected and not removed for some detections. These look very general detections but it is not able to clean or remove them.When done an On demand scan, it fails to find any thing but except cookies. When we do a manual scan using the Escan AV it catches lots of adwares and spywares.Why does a brabd product like mcafee fail to detect or clean such files where as a product lik escan does it.

This is hard to digest or understand.Kindly help.Our Server details:-OS:-null Win 2003 Std / 4 GB RAMproduct:-null McAfee Enterprise Edition 8.5.0i (Antivirus + Antispyware)Programs installed:- Mcafee antispyware Enterprise module: 8.5.0163scan engine:-null 5200.2160McAfee Virus scan Enterprise Server Ver 8.5.0.781McAfee AutoUpdate:-null Version 3.6.0.546EPO server:-null Epo 3.6.1File System:- NTFSInternet Connectioon:-Server is directly connected to Leased Line.

As I stated in another thread that you posted in.First of all, different anti-virus applications will find different 'infections', often these aren't infections but rather 'pups' or 'Possibly Unwanted Programs' and as such may be harmful or maybe not. One A/V will find something that another doesn't. And so on.That's why we recommend that people keep extra anti-spyware applications handy:Also if VirusScan isn't detecting something that you feel it should and you know its location follow this procedure:Send a file to Avert for analysis:orOr.Email file to: virusresearch@avertlabs.comWhen submitting samples via E-mail all samples must be packaged in a.ZIP file. When creating this.ZIP file, it is important to understand that the.ZIP should be no more than 3 megabytes in size and can contain no more than 30 files.

Additionally, any.ZIP file created must be password-protected using the password 'infected' (minus the '). Failure to follow these guidelines will cause your submission to be rejected. I noticed this when we deployed 8.5Upon further research, we discovered that McAfee is performing normal. When scan on read/write is enabled, viruses are caught and deleted as required.However, what happens when a new virus comes out and the signature set has not been updated?

The virus will be allowed to load. Now assume the virus is loaded and in memory.A few days later updated signatures come out. The new signatures detect the virus in memory but cannot delete them because the file(s) is in use.Once the host is rebooted, A/V should be able to delete any of these processes as they try to load again.This is why scan on read is so important.If McAfee is detecting but not deleting viruses even after a reboot, you may have other issues.

Javier,You've posted your question in the wrong forum. This is for older 'retail' versions of Virus Scan. You're using the corporate Enterprise version of VS which is a totally different beast.
