Thank you for using this McAfee® product. This document contains important information about this release. We strongly recommend that you read the entire document.
Here is a list of new and updated features included with this release of the product.
This release provides support for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Beta/Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Beta.
This release consolidates support for Microsoft SharePoint 2003, 2007, and 2010 Beta in a single package.
This release integrates with McAfee Artemis.
Enables the leverage of threat intelligence gathered by McAfee Labs to prevent damage and data theft even before a signature or DAT update is available.
When a suspicious file is detected on a client system protected by a McAfee anti-malware product with Artemis, it connects to McAfee servers in real time and a checks against the database. With real time input from McAfee protected systems, Artemis provides an "up to the minute" repository of malware samples and information. If the suspicious file is found to be malicious, the client system will be notified and protected. The Artemis query and response happens in milliseconds. Artemis does not replace signature files, it adds to signature files. The signature or DAT files are required for further actions such as cleaning and repair.
McAfee Artemis protection is available only if the system is connected to internet. Without network connectivity, the client systems are protected by the locally stored signature or DAT files. The traffic generated by Artemis is low and protection is available on a low speed connection.
Incremental on-demand scans can be used to scan any set of newly added documents in the repository without scanning the entire repository. Scanning documents incrementally saves considerable amount of time for the administrators.
The incremental on-demand scans can be scheduled with the following options:
On-demand scan task in McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint performs a user initiated scan for infections and banned content in SharePoint repositories. In the earlier versions of this product, on-demand Scan tasks could be stopped based on a schedule or after a time span. In such cases, the on-demand scan task would start from the beginning if initiated again. It may take considerable amount of time to finish a complete on-demand scan while scanning SharePoint repositories which are large in size. McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint 2.5 version introduces Resumable on-demand scans where scan tasks can be stopped and resumed as per an available maintainence window. When a resumable scan task is stopped while a scan is in progress,McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint 2.5 saves the current state of the scan task. At a later point of time when the same task is started (resumed), scan will resume from the last scanned folder. In the event of a signature update while a scan is paused, MSMS provides an option to restart the scan with the updated signature (DATs). A regular on-demand scan task can be scheduled by selecting the "Off" option on the Configure Settings tab in the OnDemand Task wizard.
The excluded file types are not scanned during an on-demand scan, improving the scan performance.
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator version 4.0 and 4.5 provides a single point of control for McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint, to manage anti-virus policies and view anti-virus events and malware activity reports.
