McAfee Anti-Malware Engine 5.4.00 - RC 2

Product Overview

To aid continuous improvement of our Anti-Malware Engine Update we will be releasing regular Beta Engines throughout the development of the 5400 Anti-Malware Engine, allowing for regular feedback from the Beta community. This will enable you to be directly involved in the quality of our Anti-Malware Engine, which forms the core malware detection and repair component of many McAfee products, throughout our development cycle of the 5400 Anti-Malware Engine update.


Releases of the Beta Engines will be made at incremental points throughout the feature development of the new Anti-Malware Engine. We are expecting to release a new Beta Anti-Malware Engine every month, with the aim of releasing the 5400 Anti-Malware Engine update during the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

Note:

The Netware, Solaris and Virex Update Packages are not scheduled to be released as part of the 5400 Anti-Malware Engine.
