Product guide

Getting Started
To properly use VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 you must understand what it does and what is new
in this release.
What it is and does
VirusScan Enterprise offers easily scalable protection, fast performance, and mobile design to
protect your environment from the following:
• Viruses, worms and Trojan horses
• Access protection violations and exploited buffer overflows
• Potentially unwanted code and programs
It detects threats, then takes the actions you configured to protect your environment.
This guide describes how to configure and use VirusScan Enterprise.
You can configure VirusScan Enterprise as a standalone product or you can use ePolicy
Orchestrator versions 4.0, or later, to centrally manage and enforce VirusScan Enterprise policies,
then use queries and dashboards to track activity and detections.
NOTE: This document addresses using McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, 4.5, or 4.6. For information
about using these versions of ePolicy Orchestrator, see that verson's product documentation.
