Invensys has supplied over the years many McAfee versions.
Most common were V7.11, V8.0i, V8.5i, V8.7i
V7.11 and V8.0i will not support V2 DAT files.
V8.5i and V8.7i will.
V8.7i ships with I/A V8.5
Workstations shipped in the last 3 years have had V7.11, V8.0i and V8.5i on
them as zip files as you needed to load the McAfee version that would support
the I/A version you were running.
So users running the first two versions....will have to upgrade to V8.5i or
V8.7i to be able to use the V2 DAT's
Advisory from Invensys is due out in the next few days... as we were developing
a plan for users to upgrade.
Those details will be in the advisory.

Thanks, Jack. That is a surprise to me.
Here is a link to the Knowledge Base article from McAfee:
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB52201
The V1 DAT files stopped being supported on 3/31/10. It would have been nice
for Invensys to let us know before it happened. One of our sites is upgrading
to 8.5 in July, which uses the new V2 DAT files in its version of McAfee, but
the other two I/A sites have no immediate plans to upgrade. Invensys folks,
are you working on supporting the V2 DAT files on I/A for versions below 8.5?

I don't know how many folks out there update their Antivirus definitions
routinely on Foxboro boxes, but I just discovered that our Foxboro 8.4.2
systems with McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 8.0i will no longer take
update definitions (even though it says it does). Foxboro was still
selling and installing boxes with McAfee 8.0i two years ago.
Supposedly there is to be a notification to all registered Foxboro
customers, but I haven't seen one yet. Just passing this on so it won't
catch some of you by surprise, as it did me.
