White Paper Access Protection in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise and

Host Intrusion Prevention

Self Protection

Many malicious programs have attempted to disable VirusScan by stopping services and processes and

leaving the system vulnerable to attack. Self Protection is an important feature of VSE that prevents

malicious programs from disabling VirusScan, or any of its services or processes.

“Prevent McAfee services from being stopped”

Self Protection begins with the check box in the lower left corner on the main Properties screen, and

includes the following additional rules (listed throughout this document):

Prevent modiﬁcation of McAfee ﬁles and settings

•

Prevent modiﬁcation of McAfee Common Management Agent ﬁles and settings

•

Prevent modiﬁcation of McAfee Scan Engine ﬁles and settings

•

Prevent termination of McAfee processes

•

Intention: When the Prevent McAfee services from being stopped check box is selected under

Access Protection, VSE will prevent anyone except the SYSTEM account from terminating McAfee

services. This protects VirusScan from being disabled by malicious programs that seek to circumvent virus

protection programs by terminating their services.

Note: This feature is currently not supported on 64-bit operating systems.
