__________________________________________________________
ENGINE END-OF-LIFE (EOL) PROGRAM

Your Anti-Virus software is only as good as its last
update!

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

Sometimes architectural changes to the way that
the DAT files and Anti-Virus Engine work
together make it critical for you to update your
engine: an old engine WILL NOT catch some of today's
threats.

McAfee Labs recommends having as part of your
Security Policy Program, an Engine Update process to
take advantage of the latest technology and stay
protected!


THE PROBLEM

Thousands of new detections are added to the
DAT files daily by McAfee Labs. 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 Labs 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, today's 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
Anti-Virus program may not understand the
changes.


THE SOLUTION

Taking this into account, McAfee regularly
updates its Anti-Virus 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.

McAfee Labs strongly recommends that users of ALL McAfee
Anti-Virus products update the engine in the 
products they have deployed as part of a
sound security best-practices program.

THE ENGINE END-OF-LIFE PROGRAM

To ensure protection from the evolving malicious code
threat, users should update as soon as possible upon
the release of McAfee's latest Anti-Virus Engine.

Engines begin their End of Life Process once a new
Engine version is released. Upon release of the new
engine version, the previous engine will be supported
for at most an additional 6 months, at the end of which
you will not be able to receive any further support on
the previous version.

Information on the McAfee Engine End-of-Life policy 
and a full list of supported engines and products 
can be found at:
