This is not correct for the Enterprise version of 8.0i. I have it installed on my workstation to test and will soon be deploying it to our staff and faculty computers. We will be managing it centrally with ePolicy Orchestrator. There are actually a number of additional features over 7.1 such as blocking outgoing IRC, SMTP and other traffic with modifiable exclusions for specific applications. I have been able to configure my installation to exclude directories without any problems. It will also scan scripts, has buffer overflow protection and in the Unwanted Programs Policy you can exclude whatever programs you want.

For example, you cannot exclude directories or applications from being scanned. And, if the virus scanner spots something "suspicious" even though clearly NOT a virus it stops all process of the application in question until a user manually clicks a little pop-up window saying its okay to proceed. It may be okay for an average user PC but should NOT be used on servers or power userâs or developerâs workstations. There are several discussions on McAfeeâs support forums with people upset with the reduction of the feature set and reduced functionality. Frankly, I dumping my copies (even those on my workstations and PCs) and going back to Version 7.1. Just my 2 cents.
