Main Features
- Prevents viruses when emailing, downloading and surfing
- Quickly detects and helps delete potentially unwanted applications (PUPs) like key-loggers, Web dialers, pop-ups and adware that can rob personally identifiable information or slow your Web surfing.
- VirusScan scans Instant Message attachments sent via AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Windows Messenger.
- Whenever new viruses attack, McAfee VirusScan automatically updates itself with the latest virus definitions (DATs), silently in the background without interrupting your work.
- More efficient at handling today's larger file sizes (e.g., MP3s, digital photos), VirusScan automatically scans inbound (POP3) and outbound (SMTP) email and email attachments for most popular email clients.
Product Description
Never go online without the latest anti-virus protection. Fast-spreading mass-mailing viruses, worms and Trojans like Mydoom, Bagle and Sasser can easily infect exposed PCs over dial-up or broadband connections, forward themselves to your email contacts and even help remote hackers hijack personal information.

Customer Reviews
- McAfee strengths and weaknesses
- I have been using McAfee for a couple of years and when the Security Suite is up and running it is very good. I added Quick Clean to it and find that very useful in tuning my PC. But there is a downside - every few months McAfee tell me that one of the products - say Spam Killer - is out of date. So I go on line for "chat" which is very tedious and… More reviews
- Don't Buy This! It's Slow, a Resource Hog & Caused both browsers to Cease Functioning! Use [free] Spybot S&D 3.1 + free Hostman
- Awful,Awful,Awful,Terrible, Terrible,Terrible. I should have listened to the reviewers on here! Especially when the one guy here said that Macafee IS the virus. He was right. I just could not believe it could be soooo different from the recently discontinued 4.5.1 for school/corporations [enterprise]. Boy, was i wrong! Not only does it take minutes to start up, Most of the time, after… More reviews
- Now this is ONE McAfee product I like !
- I have broadband and teenagers at home. My PC's were plagued with trojans and Viruses. I was formatting and re-building every 6 months. I installed McAfee Virusscan in April 2005 and have not had a SINGLE trojen or virus infect my 2 PCs. McAfee security center is constantly popping up (5 seconds) and telling me it has quarantined or deleted such and such program. . . a known virus or trojan.… More reviews
- Not the best
- I had the new Windows 2000 virus on my computer and this program could not detect it. I recommend PC Security Shield. It is much less expensive and comes with a firewall and anti spyware. A computer repairman said he does not recommend McAfee or Norton.… More reviews
- McAfee-No stars...defective product...no support!!
- Installed McAfee VS 2005 9.0 on a perfectly good Dell 8200 Inspirion and it killed it dead. Don't buy this product...it didn't work on my PC where everything else worked fine. McAfee offers no warranty support and couldn't care less about customers. Stay away, very far away. … More reviews
