But file types, like some media which are not a risk, are not included in the On Demand Scans. With the Next Gen AV, we focus on scripts and anything executable, and those file types which are potentially subject to infection. On a PC loaded with a lot of files, this could lead to a significantly long scan time, and depending upon your PC power, some perceivable lag. Why are scans not looking at as many files? With previous technology, McAfee would scan every file, every time - unless scans are customized. The end result is detection that is always getting better through Machine Learning (instead of having to try to keep up by logging signatures of known viruses constantly). Instead of using only signatures & static file attributes, which have to be updated constantly, we are also looking at file behaviors (Dynamic attributes). Instead of carrying nearly 200MB of DATs (virus signatures) on the PC, we are trimming down DATs to about 1/5 the size and offloaded much of what was previously handled by the PC locally, to the Cloud. One way to accomplish this was by shifting to a more Cloud-reliant Next Gen AV engine. What's happened? McAfee has responded to feedback from users who wanted to be protected, while not paying a heavy Performance price. But let me first encourage those of you who like the ability to scan a particular file or drive that we are currently working on re-adding that to the product. I'll take a crack at explaining how we've changed the scanning technology & why. Please refer to the following comments from the Virus Scan Product Manager "There is an update coming to scanning August 1 so we shall see if any change but I think it is more in relation to the scanned file total shown. Hope you don't mind Petaniaįrom catdaddy in McAfee Community 29 Jul 17 :. To help other BT Virus Protect users understand what's going on I've taken the liberty of copying it to here. I saw that catdaddy has replied with a (now familiar) summary of what McAfee has changed in their latest version authored by the relevant project manager Tracy. Yes I saw your posting Petania in McAfee Community.
