Windows 7 and McAfee Enterprise 8.5

Expand Post »
I have installed Windows 7 today after that I tried to install McAfee Anti Virus Enterprise Edition 8.5

Windows 7 prompted that this application has known compatibility problems with the application that you are trying to install. Considering this as problematic, I gave up and did not install the AntiVirus. Any one faced this problem and what is the solution?

Re: Windows 7 and McAfee Enterprise 8.5

Yeah, I had the same problem, though this was McAfee Security Center. I switched to Avast and that works fine. I've also tried Norton 2009 - works perfectly.

We're using McAfee Enterprise 8.7, and we have a similar problem with Windows 7. The antivirus works, but the Windows Security Center can't read the status reports. The error message is attached. The antivirus program is working properly, so I just let it do its thing without worrying whether Windows can talk to it.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing you have with McAfee 8.5, but maybe this will help.

Re: Windows 7 and McAfee Enterprise 8.5

I ignored that warning but installed McAfee 8.5. It is not causing any problem. When I manually attempt to update it, it again shows the compatibility problem. I again ignored it and it updated the virus definition.

There is no working problem with McAfee 8.5 on Windows 7.

Re: Windows 7 and McAfee Enterprise 8.5
Use 8.7 and it will work. Ive got VirusScan enterprise 8.7.0i running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (windows 7 based). 8.7 runs fine. 8.5 does not work on that system.

McAfee OAS problem

I've got VirusScan enterprise 8.7.0i running on my work PC and Mcafees online access scanner , turned on at reboot, magically turns off some time later. This causes the W7 Action center to issue warning messages and right now the only option is to reboot. Anybody else seen this?
