Workaround: There is no known workaround for this.
Resolved issues
Issues that are resolved in this release are listed below.
1.
Issue: The McAfee Agent was vulnerable to the issue described in Security Bulletin SB10002, McAfee Security
Bulletin - ActiveX security issue in CMA and McAfee Agent. (Reference: 528597)
Resolution: The McAfee Agent upgrade process has been updated to implement the required registry modifications.
2.
Issue: The McAfee Agent failed to display the agent icon, show the agent status monitor, enforce policies, or run
tasks in environments enforcing reduced DCOM privileges. (Reference: 502250)
Resolution: The McAfee Agent now applies “connect” rather than “anonymous” as the required level of DCOM
security authentication.
3.
Issue: The McAfee Agent Policy \ Updates section did not allow the ability to install product patches from the
Previous or Evaluation Branch. (Reference: 392871)
Resolution: The Policy Section now includes Patches.
4.
Issue: The agent would read from the point product list in the registry and check whether NaPrdMgr.exe needed
to be restarted once a minute. This could prevent the computer from going into a low power state.
(Reference:503403)
Resolution: The agent now only reads from the registry list when it detects a registry change and only checks
whether NaPrdMgr.exe needs a restart at policy enforcement time.
5.
Issue: The McAfee Agent 4.5 did not provide an embedded credential installation package options (Reference:
529171)
Resolution: A separate ePO check in package is provided with McAfee Agent Patch 1 that supports creation of
embedded credentials packages. An embedded credential installation package is now available. The embedded
credential package is separate from the General Use package. If you require the use of embedded credentials, please
download the MA450P1Win_EMBEDDED.zip from the McAfee download site or the McAfee ServicePortal.
NOTE: The packages are different to accommodate both customers that need embedded credentials and those that
do not. Using embedded credentials requires the compiled package size to increase several megabytes. This can be a
significant issue in some environments. This is the only difference between the two packages.

6. Issue: Event ID 4354 would appear as a warning message in the Application Event log after installing MA 4.5
(Reference: 529456).
Resolution: This message no longer appears.
7.
Issue: When upgrading the McAfee Agent to version 4.5 from version 4.0, the message "New MAC address was
found...regenerating Agent ID." (Reference: 486102)
Resolution: This message no longer appears.
8.
Issue: When McAfee Agent 4.0 or 4.5 were installed, the VirusScan mirrorlog.txt no longer contained success or
failure messages (Reference: 491845).
Resolution: Logging functions have been restored to the mirrorlog.txt file.
9.
Issue: If an Agent was configured to use an FTP or HTTP repository with credentials containing the characters '@',
'/', or ':', the Agent would fail to authenticate with the repository as if the username and passwords were incorrect.
(Reference: 491907)
Resolution: The Agent now supports any legal character combination for repository credentials.
10.
Issue: Agent installation would sometimes fail if a site list had a very large number of sites. (Reference: 495083)
Resolution: The time out on the site list installation program has been increased to allow larger site lists.
11.
Issue: The Agent mistakenly identified some laptops as not portable when reporting system
