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 third quarter of 2009.
* It's faster than before: We've listened to our customers who asked for a faster Engine and it delivers superior performance to current McAfee Anti-Virus products on all supported platforms.
* Improved detection of existing, new and potential threats which increases the depth and breadth of the protection we provide.
* Enhanced support for Adobe Flash (.swf) file format.
* Improved file decomposition, helping us to detect more threats, including enhanced support for the Nullsoft Installer file format.
* 100% drop-in compatibility with existing McAfee Anti-Virus products and DAT files. It's easy to upgrade; just update your Anti-Malware Engine.
* We have digitally signed the Engine (Windows only) to allow its origin and integrity to be checked.

Yes, I use them on 8.5 and it's much faster (at least for my PC)...

Is the McAfee Anti-Malware Engine the same as Engine 5400? While running the Anti-Malware, it stops and tells that McAfee is already using the latest engine.
Another question: What about "Advanced Virus Remover"? I have to uninstall it many times, every day, with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
Thanks for helping.

If I understand you correctly this isn't same Engine, 5400 is still in BETA stage. I use them, but McAfee generally don't recommend using it until final version. ;)

"Advanced Virus Remover" is rogue (fake) program. This program is Malware and you need to immediately remove them from your PC. If you need any help with this problem, please open your own Topic at SCF "PC Help Center": http://scforum.info/index.php?action=forum (http://scforum.info/index.php?action=forum)

My mistake, it's official now (from last Week): http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads/security_updates/engines.asp?region=us&segment=enterprise (http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads/security_updates/engines.asp?region=us&segment=enterprise)
By the way, did you finally "kill" this "Advanced Virus Remover"??
-
I just installed this from their site using the official version posted earlier. So far no negative effects.
-
I'm using Virusscan Enterprise 8.7 Patch1 with Antispyware 8.5 with Sdat-Engine 5.4.00. Do I automatically have the lastest final engine (5.3.00) for Antispyware or do I have to download them seperatly (I don't use autoupdate). If not, where can I get it?
Another question where can I download Sdat-Engine 5.4.00 x64? I only found the x86-version. >:(
-
I don't think so, but it's easy to check. Simple right click on McAfee icon (next to clock), chose "About McAfee..." and you'll see which "Scan Engine Version" you have.
-
The Scan Engine Version is 5400.1158. Well, that's for Antivirus. Does Antispyware use the same Engine or an different one?
Can I download the 5400 x64-Engine seperatly? The computer I'm using is not connected to the internet.

I think that you'll find here a lot of interesting information ;) : http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/TVD/as85/ (http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/TVD/as85/)

Thanks for the link. Antispyware uses the same Engine and DAT than Virusscan. Thats the Information I wanted.
But the other qusetion is: where can I download the x64-Engine? I need it for my Win7-Installation. And via Autoupdate it doesn't seems to be available.

Thanks (a bit late, as I was on vacation) for the download location of the 5400 scan engine!

I'm not sure, but it look like that this version is still in BETA stage and don't support Win 7.
Anyway, take a look here:

That's the site where I downloaded the 5400-Engine. But it seems to be only the x86-Version. I can't inststall it on Vista x64 and 7 x64. As you see on the first link it's out of beta stage.
Now I've loaded the "Windows Engine Package for use with ePO" and manually extracted the x86- and x64-files. It's alittle bit annoying but it works! An installer would be more comfortable of course.

For me, that's excellent solution... :thumbsup:
