McAfee Virus
Protection Programs
McAfee virus protection programs are among
the most renowned and the most popular of all Internet security
applications. There are solutions to fit every need, from the
individual home user to large international organizations and all
are backed up by regular and conclusive updates from the McAfee
Avert Labs. As well as individual McAfee virus protection programs
like VirusScan Plus, there are also packages that contain numerous
defensive programs. The McAfee Total Protection package combines the
VirusScan Plus program with anti-spyware software, identity
protection, and much more.
McAfee VirusScan Plus
The antivirus
application from McAfee is called McAfee VirusScan. The main version
of the program is used for protecting Windows based systems from
contracting viruses. However, other versions do exist.
VirusScan Plus actually provides protection against viruses and
spyware and provides a Personal Firewall as part of the software.
This combination
offers powerful protection against hackers as well as viruses. Many
hackers and online thieves use a hybrid of spyware and viruses in
order to gain access to your system. By preventing spyware and
viruses from installing on your computer in the first place and by
cleaning or removing any infected files you can browse the Internet
safely and securely.
McAfee virus
protection offers an always-on method to beat viruses. VirusScan
offers proactive protection, which runs whenever your computer is
turned on. This ensures that it can detect and warn of any incoming
or outgoing traffic and files. The Firewall is particularly
effective at preventing unauthorized access to your computer.
As with all the
multiple protection suites that McAfee offers, VirusScan Plus
integrates all of its features into the intuitive SecurityCenter
user interface. The SecurityCenter lets you quickly view the health
of your PC and any actions that McAfee software is prompting. This
enables you to quickly, effectively, and routinely check your
computer’s health.
McAfee VirusScan Mobile
It is estimated
that there are close to 4 times as many cell phones in the world as
there are computers and more and more of us are turning to using
handsets to connect to the mobile Internet. As its use becomes more
commonplace the mobile browser and handsets in general are becoming
the latest victims of attack from SMS, MMS, and Bluetooth attack.
VirusScan Mobile was designed from scratch to integrate into
mobile handsets. It remains a powerful McAfee virus protection
program and with regular updates it can trace and remove or clean
all new variants of mobile virus and spyware. VirusScan Mobile uses
updates from Avert Labs that have become renowned for their virus
updates and research.
McAfee LinuxShield
Linux has long
been considered the safer option in Operating Systems. However, more
hackers and more viruses are beginning to target computers running a
Linux Operating System.
LinuxShield offers McAfee virus protection for Red Hat, SuSE,
and Novell systems. Avert Labs once again provide the regular
updates and all updates can be downloaded and installed
automatically.
McAfee Active Mail Protection
Active Mail Protection from McAfee provides protection and
scanning of emails for viruses, spyware, and spam. It helps to
prevent viruses, or worms, that are transmitted via email
attachments and images. All emails are scanned completely including
any attachments and if a virus is discovered it can be automatically
cleaned or removed and its access blocked.
Because McAfee
Active Mail Protection uses heuristic and behavioral scanning it can
detect potential spyware and viruses whose signatures and
definitions have not yet been updated. Active Mail Protection
updates are provided regularly and contain the most up-to-date
information because of the number of users McAfee virus protection
software commands.
Protecting Against The Latest Online Threats
McAfee virus
protection is kept up to date using McAfee Avert Labs. Thorough and
continuous research is done to new and emerging threats in order to
ensure that your system is protected against the latest and
potentially most damaging viruses. Updates for most programs are
daily and help to ensure that you get the best from VirusScan and
the other anti-virus applications and suites.
