__________________________________________________________
ENGINE END-OF-LIFE (EOL) PROGRAM

Important information from AVERT and the McAfee
Engine Development Team:

   Is your engine up-to-date? - Anti-virus is only
   as good as its last update!

-  Updating your DAT files regularly is essential
   and a MUST!

-  Updating your engine is just as important and a
   MUST.

-  An old engine WILL NOT catch some of todays
   threats.

-  Sometimes architectural changes to the way that
   the DAT files and virus-scanning engine work
   together make it critical for you to update your
   engine.

AVERT says it makes sense to have as part of your
Security Policy Program, an Engine Update process to
take advantage of the latest technology and stay
protected!


THE PROBLEM

Between 250 and 400 new detections are added to the
DAT files monthly by AVERT. If you are not
up-to-date, you are vulnerable to any one of them
that gets a foothold in the field (also known as "in
the wild").

McAfee AVERT(TM) releases regular DAT files,
ensuring that full protection is added to all McAfee
products. The DAT files contain the information
required to detect and remove threats - what to look
for and where to look for it.

However, todays threats are evolving almost on a
daily basis. Software providers continue to make
changes to operating systems and applications that
can change the way a program acts or works, and a
virus-scanning program may not understand the
changes.


THE SOLUTION

Taking this into account, McAfee regularly
updates its virus-scanning engine used by ALL McAfee
virus-detection and removal products. The
engine understands all the different structures in
which a virus could lurk - EXE files, Microsoft
Office files, Linux files, and so on. Occasionally
these changes require us to make significant
architectural changes to the engine as well as the
DAT files.

AVERT strongly recommends that users of ALL McAfee
anti-virus products update the engines in the 
products they have deployed as part of a
sound security best-practices program.

To check your engine version, right-click the McAfee
shield in the system tray, select "About" and look
at the "Scan engine" version number. If you need to
update, you should update your scan engine
immediately from our download site.


THE ENGINE END-OF-LIFE PROGRAM

Because of the evolving malicious code threat, users
should update their engines as soon as possible upon
the release of McAfees latest scanning technology.

When a new engine is released, the existing engine
will begin its countdown to its end of life, and
will therefore no longer be supported by McAfee.

and a full list of supported engines and products 
can be found at:
