Product Description

McAfee VirusScan is the only antivirus software to protect you from all dangers that threaten your computer. VirusScan is designed to automatically detect as-yet-undiscovered viruses with advanced ViruLogic technology, improving detection and cleaning of viruses, as well as increasing scanning speed.

With its unique Email X-Ray feature VirusScan catches new viruses in e-mail before messages have been opened. It also features groundbreaking detection from hostile ActiveX and Java attacks on the Web. VirusScan is backed by McAfee AVERT Labs, one of the world's largest antivirus research groups, who work to find the latest viruses and distribute cures.

VirusScan now lets you automatically back up important files to a protected area on your hard drive, while the new Quarantine feature allows you to isolate suspicious files. New SecureCast technology makes VirusScan update files smaller and downloads faster, making it easier than ever to keep your protection up-to-date. VirusScan also includes VirusScan Central, a completely new user interface with a revolutionary new look and feel offering quick access to all VirusScan features.

Money and time saving product!
I've been using VirusScan for almost ten years. During that time I've tried others, but none ever compared. It would practically pay for itself by detecting one virus, but VirusScan detects all known and unknown viruses. Setting VirusScan to update automaticaly is a cinch. Just turn it on and it will be updated weekly from McAfee's own ftp site.…   More reviews
