Topic: Issues using WiFi with Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8

[silverstone]

Hello,

I have been using McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 8.8 since a few years and never had a problem with it, until now!
Well I bought this wireless router to connect to internet using modem for my laptop and smartphone. But now every time i switch on the WiFi, i loose the connectivity after about 5 mins.
This may seem to be a network configuration problem or a router problem. But believe me i have everything setup right.
Recently i discovered that when i disable the "Access Protection" in Virusscan Console, i have no problem with the WiFi connection. After enabling the Access Protection, i again loose the WiFi connection.

I have no IPS or IDS or Firewall install.
Using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise + AntiSpyware Enterprise 8.8 with no patches.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

First apply Patch 1 and see if it keeps hapening, then you'll have to comment us hot did you set up your access protections rules

[vishwanath99]

open virus scan consol==>On-access scanner properties===>  blocking
Uncheck block

[vishwanath99]

by default block is enabled... Block the connection when a threat is detected

Check the on access protection statistics and also Log

Hi Silverstone, just want to check did you successfully apply Patch 1 and do you still have problem with WiFi??

I did apply patch 1. Now the problem does not seems to be appearing.
I will test to for few days more with some continuous download.

But this option is to block the connection when a threat is detected in shared folder. Does this apply to a WiFi network?
I have no shared folders on my PC.

Thank yous guys.. seems the problem is no more occurring.
I did not wanted to switch to another antivirus as my friend suggested coz mcafee has been my support for more than 3 years now.
Thank you.

You welcome pal.

Just like me, I'm really big McAfee fan... mostly because of perpetual license for VSE. No worries about licenses, keys... and of course very good protection.

Cheers!
