McAfee Antivirus Plus

Www.mcafee.com/Activate : McAfee Antivirus software works to block viruses
from entering your computer system and kill or quarantine viruses that have
some broken through the firewall.
To begin protecting your computer system, McAfee Antivirus software updates
its virus database by using an automatic web crawler that scans the Internet
and identifies malicious software by name, type and destructive capability.
With that information, the software also scans for the way to delete the
malicious software.
Once the scan is complete, the program is prepared to impede the entry of
malware on a computer system or destroy it, if it is already on the system.

❑Unbeatable Malware Detection and Cleaning:
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise uses the award-winning McAfee scanning engine to detect and
clean malware and protect your files from viruses, worms, rootkits, Trojans, and other
threats.
❑Proactive Protection from Attacks:
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise is the industry’s first anti-malware software to offer
patented intrusion prevention with application-specific buffer-overflow technology. Now
you can protect your users proactively against buffer-overflow exploits that target
vulnerabilities in Microsoft applications, and you can enjoy a more robust, advanced level
of endpoint system security by integrating your anti-malware technology with intrusion
prevention.

❑Optimized for Fast Performance and Reduced System Impact
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise has been designed to reduce system impact while scanning for threats. Its
new persistence caching technology dramatically improves both on-access and on-demand scanning.
With a reduced memory footprint and faster boot times, users will have lower power requirements
than prior versions.

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software. The McAfee ePO platform provides centralized
deployment, policy configuration and enforcement, and detailed reporting of McAfee VirusScan
Enterprise, as well as many other McAfee security products.
❑Easily Manage Quarantined Files
Configure policies to manage quarantined items easily with the Quarantine Policy Manager. Before an
on-access or on-demand scan cleans or deletes a file, it creates a backup copy of the original file and a
registry value in the quarantine directory.

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise includes the ability to scan Lotus Notes email on client systems. It scans
all Lotus Notes client email (HTML text and attachments) messages that come to the desktop.
