Max,
 
Cisco uses a third party kit to detect Antivirus. Cisco has to wait for _that_ company to support the new version before it can be supported in Clean Access. 
 
With the agent installed, you will notice a whole directory of dlls from this. Cisco does not need to maintain the old-style checks, but support for new versions is delayed.

Hi
 
I've got various students here who have installed MacAfee 12 and are complaining that Clean Access doesn't recognize it. Given that this happens quite often when new AV versions are released, I wondered if the developers had considered giving CCA the option of using WMI calls to Security Center to check AV status? It's a similar idea to using WSUS checks for Windows security patches instead of the Cisco-supplied rules. It would have the advantage that while AV suppliers don't always seem to be bothered about Clean Access, they all make sure that Security Center recognizes their products
