Description
The VirusScan On-Access Scan component in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 and Scan Engine 4.4.00 allows local privileged users to bypass security restrictions and disable the On-Access Scan option by opening the program via the task bar and quickly clicking the Disable button, possibly due to an interface-related race condition.
