We're currently having McAfee issues, with this bug in patch 5:
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB72280
It seems to disproportionately effect XenApp servers (at least in the
server estate I look after).
Unfortunately, downgrading to patch 4 leaves these servers exposed to this bug:
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB70384
And the hotfix contains the same bug as patch 5.
I'd definitely check that the bug with patch 5 has been resolved
before deploying VirusScan 8.7 to any XenApp servers. The fix is due
this week (although it was originally due last week).
We also have some Citrix/XenApp servers running Trend Micro - and
we've not yet had any major problems with that. I also like Sophos,
but I've never used it in a Xen terminal services environment.
