This includes new or updated versions of McAfee products, such as VirusScan Enterprise, and non-McAfee products from McAfee partners. Packages are components that are checked in to the master repository, then deployed to client systems. For information about extensions and packages, see these topics in the ePolicy Orchestrator Product Guide: • Extensions and what they do • Deployment packages for products and updates According to your selections during installation, the Total Protection for Endpoint client software was added to your ePO master repository.
