For UH faculty, staff, and students using Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows server 2003, Windows server 2008, Windows server 2008 Release 2, and 64-bit Windows:
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.7 with patch 2 is available for download. This new version of McAfee anti-virus software is required for Windows 7 and Windows server 2008 Release 2 support. It is recommended that you continue using VSE 8.5 with patch 8 for Windows XP and Vista computers with less than 1 GB RAM. For Windows computers with at least 1 GB RAM and a "faster" processor, i.e. computers less than 2 years old, you may install VSE 8.7 with patch 2. Otherwise, please continue to use VSE 8.5 with patch 8. New VSE 8.7 Installer A new UH installer for VSE 8.7 with patch 2 (uhvse87p2.exe) has been created. It's intended for new Windows computers and any computers running Windows XP or Vista with 1 GB (or more) RAM and a "faster" processor. The new UH installer includes patch 2, scan engine 5300, McAfee agent 4.0 (formerly known as CMA) and pre-configured settings for UH. Download the new UH installer (uhvse87p2.exe) from http://www.hawaii.edu/antivirus/ or obtain a copy of the ITS CD ROM. The UH installer is huge (84.9 MB). Still have VSE 8.0? If you have VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 installed, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to VSE 8.7 with patch 2 (computers with 1 GB RAM or more) or VSE 8.5 with patch 8 (computers with less than 1 GB RAM). VSE 8.0 does not support incremental scan engines. McAfee will end support for VSE 8.0 in March 2010.
