McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 Patch 4

Microsoft Windows 7

Problema

You might encounter a performance issue with VSE 8.8 Patch 4 and certain applications. A comprehensive list is not available now. But, this article will be updated with application names as they become known.

The following table lists the applications known to exhibit symptoms of high CPU usage, sluggishness, or both, when run on a computer that is also running VSE 8.8 Patch 4:

Application	Notes
DropBox.exe	Performance issues occur when the Dropbox application reads a file to sync it with Dropbox servers. Dropbox detects a file change and tries to sync the file with Dropbox servers. It tries to sync the file even when the contents of the file might not have changed. NOTE: This issue might also occur if you perform a DAT update and the scan cache is cleared.
W3WP.exe	No specific action by the application is required.

Modifica di sistema

VSE 8.8 Patch 4 is installed.

Causa

Some processes might be configured to monitor for changes to a specific folder or file's contents.

When VSE 8.8 Patch 4 scans a file, the metadata of the file changes. The result is that the application performs more work, which might appear as a high CPU symptom or performance lag to the user.

Soluzione

This issue is resolved in VSE 8.8 Patch 5.

Patches are cumulative; Technical Support recommends you install the latest one.

McAfee product software, upgrades, maintenance releases, and documentation are available from the Product Downloads site at: https://www.mcafee.com/enterprise/en-us/downloads/my-products.html.

NOTE: You need a valid Grant Number for access. See KB56057 - How to download Enterprise product updates and documentation for more information about the Product Downloads site, and alternate locations for some products.
