Does anyone know if Mcafee NetShield Supports LFNs or if I can disable the 8.3 safely?

FYI, we have just found out that this can cause problems with Declude Virus and F-Prot (which uses the 8.3 file names). This needs to be set to 0 if using Declude Virus and F-Prot (and likely some other scanners, as well). There isn't a problem using the long file names with 7.06 because Declude Virus will convert the file name into the 8.3 format. If the 8.3 format is no longer available (as a result of this registry change), Declude will send the virus scanner the long file name. But, if the virus scanner does not recognize the long file name, it will prevent the scanner from being able to scan the attachments. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
