RE: 3link9's Laptop Config (Updated 11/8/12)

I have a license of SaaS lying around. Last time I used it was totally different from the standard versions for home users and a friend who worked at McAfee said to use SaaS instead. Still dont fully trust that product but one thing was: UI was slightly better.

If things havent changed, SaaS is still its endpoint protection lineup with Email and web protection.

I didnt play much with SaaS tho so I have not seen last version in action.

3link9: are you using the ePO version of Endpoint? Either way (SaaS or ePO), could you try to do the CMD (nslookup) command to test GTI File Rep connectivity?

Command for CMD:
Code:
nslookup 4z9p5tjmcbnblehp4557z1d136.avqs.mcafee.com

If it is not too much could you screenshot your Dashboard as well as Policy Editor? You can mask any info you wish.

Note: for those who don't know or wish to know whats GTI, it is Global Threat Intelligence, which was known as Artemis.

Nope not using EPo to my knowledge.

Also what do you mean by Dashboard as well as policy editor? Sorry, My head isn't working right today. :/

Reason I asked about ePO is because I could not find the AV module only Endpoint version.

I tried the command nslookup but still failed. I got a feeling I need to configure something for GTI.

Dashboard: log into your McAfee Hosted Management account (https://www.mcafeeasap.com).

The very first page that is opened is the Dashboard.

Policy Editor is the 4th tab.

I would give it to you, But I don't think My school/work would like me for that since I actually did ask for the log in and stuff before but they refused. :/

Oh the configuration of its module (Antivirus & Anti Spyware) is not done by you then. Fair enough.

I will have a look further on the GTI configuration for the Endpoint solution.

I know you can tie your Endpoint to ePO and I know that with ePO versions GTI work as I have asked a friend who has access to it.

Just can't figure it out what am I missing on the nslookup command to keep failing.

Update:
Removed Webroot SA

Added:
Eset NOD32

Alright, Doing a temporary gaming experiment.
I was trying to figure out why I been getting a Sudden FPS drop in games and I noticed Bio said he had a FPS drop with Webroot so... seeing if its the culprit. However, Webroot will still remain on my daily use computer.

Hey link, while you are at WSA, could you do me a simple test? can you see if WSA is fully functional disconnected from the internet? I honestly cannot remember if it has similar features like Panda where a cache is available for when not connected to the internet.

In terms of Gaming, the FPS drops were only 2 to 6 on a place full of users however when moving maps to combat open world with flashy skills it is where it massively dropped below 30FPS, despite being running graphics at medium settings with no shadows and window mode where I had the same exact settings without AV, with ESET and CAV at around 60FPS.

(AION was the game in question).

Needless to say, I have became inactive in AION. Path of Exile is one game you can trully test its FPS by pressing F1 (it also has on screen charts). However it is to note ICE SHOT skill will cause major FPS drops due to the animation itself. known issue that has been partially addressed by Grinding Gear Games.

The above game would be the best to identify the FPS drops and what not and its a F2P game.

I would test it myself again but unfortunately, constant disconnections due to ISP makes any online game unplayable after 5 to 10 mins.
