Product Description

From the Manufacturer

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.

That's why award-winning McAfee VirusScan--trusted by millions worldwide--automatically scans your email, attachments, shared disks, and downloads, then immediately starts to clean or quarantine infections. Easy to download, install, and use, McAfee VirusScan automatically checks for virus updates* whenever you connect to the Internet, so your protection stays up-to-date against the latest threats, including spyware.

Besides all the powerful features of VirusScan, VirusScan Pro includes a two-user license (letting you protect a second computer), anti-spam protection, and secure data erasure.

Features:

• Contains two licenses
• Prevents viruses when emailing, downloading, and surfing
• Destroys viruses and virus-like threats
• Identifies spying and pop-up ad programs
• Updates automatically to protect against new threats
• Prevents unwanted and inappropriate email
• Enhances privacy with a digital document shredder

Benefits:

• Multi-user license
• Always-on protection: whenever new viruses attack, McAfee VirusScan automatically updates itself with the latest virus definitions (DATs), silently in the background without interrupting your work.
• Auto cleaning: automatically attempts to clean infections when malicious threats are detected from viruses, worms, Trojans, ActiveX controls, and Java applets.
• Improved! Email scanning: more efficient at handling today's larger file sizes (e.g., MP3s, digital photos, PowerPoint presentations), VirusScan automatically scans inbound (POP3) and outbound (SMTP) email and email attachments for most popular email clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, Eudora, and others.
• Improved! Spyware detection and removal: 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.
• Instant message scanning: checks attachments sent via AOL Instant Messenger 2.1 or later, Yahoo! Instant Messenger 4.1 or later, Microsoft Windows Messenger 3.6 or later, and MSN Messenger 6.0 or later for virus threats.
• WormStopper: uses advanced heuristic technology to detect mass-mailing worms by zeroing in on suspicious PC activity, such as unauthorized, bulk emails to contacts in your address book.
• ScriptStopper: detects then helps stop fast spreading viruses like I Love You, which use script-based code to infect your PC.
• Windows Explorer integration: lets you scan files and use other VirusScan features right from Explorer menus.
• MS Outlook scanning: integrates directly on the MS Outlook toolbar for instant, on-demand scanning of older email or folders.
• AVERT support: McAfee's Antivirus Emergency Response Team continually monitors worldwide virus outbreaks then delivers immediate anti-virus protection and removal solutions for VirusScan users.
• New! Spam blocking and filtering: Ideal for Outlook, MSN/Hotmail, and other email clients, McAfee SpamKiller technology automatically helps block offensive messages, virus hoaxes, foreign language spam, and other unwanted email from polluting your inbox. Also catches techniques--intentional misspellings, invisible text, image-heavy emails--spammers use to evade anti-spam detection.
• New! Identity theft protection: Scam filters help block "Phishing Attacks"--spoof emails that try to fool you into revealing credit card information.
• Enhances privacy with a digital document shredder: Even when you delete files from your computer, they may not be completely wiped from the hard drive. Erased files leave digital footprints that hackers or other unauthorized users can access. McAfee Shredder helps permanently delete file traces from your hard drive, removing digital footprints that hackers and other identity thieves look to exploit to recover personal data.
• Free live instant message and email technical support.

*One year of virus definition and spam filter updates with purchase of McAfee VirusScan Professional; annual renewal available online for subsequent virus definition updates.
