What is it?

McAfee VirusScan 8.0i is the newest enterprise version of the McAfee anti-virus products. It is the direct successor of 7.1.

What's the difference?

While still providing the same protection as 7.1, 8.0i also provides additional protections against internet-based virus attacks. It attempts to block internet communications to your computer that are suspected to be virus activity. It also attempts to prevent viruses from using your computer to attack others over the network, saving precious network resources and helping to keep your computer from being blocked from the internet.

Where can I get it?

Currently the best place to get it is to download it from the NDUS anti-virus website at antivirus.nodak.edu Please note that you will need to login using your firstname.lastname account to get access to the software.

 

Additional Protections Provided by 8.0i

	This is the Access Protection Property page. With this page, McAfee gives you the ability to limit the network & internet access programs have. This is helpful in keeping IRC bots, and unwanted FTP and e-mail programs from sending out data that could get your computer blocked from NDSU's network. If you are having trouble with FTP, FrontPage, or Dreamweaver, you may want to uncheck the ftp protection.
This is the Unwanted Program Policy page. This page will allow you to tell McAfee exactly what types of spyware, adware, and other junk software you want it to block.
