system is up-to-date and the previous version of VirusScan (or Virex)

is uninstalled. If you have a version of Virex or VirusScan already

installed on your computer, the VirusScan for Mac installer displays

a message and aborts its installation.
To uninstall VirusScan, use the uninstaller. supplied

with your current version of VirusScan or Virex. Do

not uninstall VirusScan using the uninstaller supplied with

another version of VirusScan (or Virex).


The VirusScan for Mac installation stops if you have previously

installed Norton, VirusBarrier or Sophos Anti-Virus software on

your Mac OS X machine. Even after you uninstall Norton,

VirusBarrier or Sophos, there might be files that remain on

your system that cause problems when you try to install

VirusScan for Mac. To resolve this issue, remove the following

files (if they exist) before you continue to install the product.
- Sophos (SAVI.framework)
Path:

/Library/Frameworks/SAVI.framework

Path:

/Library/Application Support/Norton Solutions Support/Norton

Antivirus/Engine/NAVLibX

1. Go to the EICAR.ORG website http://www.eicar.org. and

download the AntiVirus test file, Eicar.zip.


2. Run the On-Demand Scanner on the downloaded ZIP file.

KNOWN ISSUES

KNOWN ISSUES WITH VIRUSSCAN FOR MAC

1. By default, the On-Access Scanner is set to "Always" scan files.

Should you experience any performance degradation when

On-Access scanning is enabled, you may want to consider setting

the On-Access Scanner to scan only after "Write" operations.

However, this is less secure than scanning files "Always" and

could result in infections going undetected.


2. For Apple Mail scanning, with both the On-Access and On-Demand

scanners, archive scanning must be enabled, to ensure mails

are scanned correctly.
3. The date will only be shown in the eUpdate pane following

a successful manual eUpdate. All other forms of eUpdate

(scheduled from ePolicy Orchestrator or the VirusScan

Schedule Editor), will show this value as "Never".


4. You might experience a short time delay when switching from the

"Scan & Clean" view to the "eUpdate" view in the VirusScan console.


5. In certain scenarios, the On-Access Scanner logs multiple

"infection found" messages in the VirusScan.log and the

VirusScan Reporter for a single infection. This is due to

multiple processes accessing the infected file. In addition,

few of these multiple infection messages show the temporary

location of the infected file.


6. VirusScan Scheduler launches an On-Demand scanning task only

if the relevant user is in the foreground. The task does not run if

the user is in the background or logged out.
7. Adding the startup disk to the exclusion list excludes your

entire hard disk drive.


8. The VirusScan GUI won't show the updated policies pushed from

ePO, unless the VirusScan application is relaunched.


9. QuickMail Client crashes when opening an infected attachment

when the On-Access Scanner is enabled and set to

"Clean and Delete" or "Delete".

KNOWN ISSUES WITH NON-WINDOWS AGENT FOR MACINTOSH


1. If you install Non-Windows Agent using the command-line (silent

installation), restart your system to ensure Non-Windows Agent

works properly.
2. Machine information might be displayed incorrectly in the

Properties of ePolicy Orchestrator.


3. NWA Agent runs in Rosetta mode.

KNOWN ISSUES WITH EPOLICY ORCHESTRATOR

1. When you delete the VirusScan for Mac node from the ePolicy

Orchestrator console tree, do not select "Uninstall agent from all

connected computers" in the "Delete confirmation" message box. If

you do, the VirusScan for Mac node will no longer be shown in the

ePolicy Orchestrator console tree.
2. Removed exclusions remain under the VirusScan for Mac Properties

tab. The list gets refreshed when you create new exclusions.


3. VirusScan for Mac generates incorrect ePolicy Orchestrator events

for infected emails.


4. If you check-in the VirusScan for Mac .NAP file under ePolicy

Orchestrator v3.5 and subsequently upgrade ePolicy Orchestrator

to v3.6, the VirusScan for Mac .NAP files will not be listed in

ePolicy Orchestrator v3.6.


To resolve this issue, apply Patch 2 for ePolicy Orchestrator v3.6,

then recheck-in the Virex.NAP file.


KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE VIRUSSCAN DOCUMENTATION
Table 3-3 on page 24 of the VirusScan for Mac Product Guide

shows On-Access scanning of compressed files as being "On"

by default. In fact, this is "Off" by default (as is correctly stated

in the Help).


________________________________________________________________

ePOLICY ORCHESTRATOR SERVER FEATURES NOT

SUPPORTED BY VIRUSSCAN FOR MAC
1. The Scheduled Task Type options Scheduler "At Logon", "when idle"

and "run on dialup" in the Task Scheduler, are not supported by

2. You cannot deploy VirusScan for Mac ePolicy Orchestrator Agent

using the ePolicy Orchestrator server. Similarly, you cannot uninstall

VirusScan for Mac ePolicy Orchestrator Agent using the ePolicy
