The McAfee AntiVirus Plus component has been updated with Windows 8 support.
Some bugs have been squashed, including one that cased blurry graphics under certain circumstances, an issue resulting in horizontal scrolling being reversed in Unity mode, and an error with displaying Office 2013 applications on some recent Macs.
