Product Description
Manufacturer's 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.
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.
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
VirusScan scans Instant Message attachments sent via AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Windows Messenger. 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.

I bought this product after getting a free 90 day trial of Mcafee antivirus with a new pc. I have just installed it today. It is very easy to install and I had no problems with it. It gives peace of mind that you can go online without the worry of getting a virus. Highly recommended!!

I got this after removing the system hijacker that is Norton antivirus. This is much nicer. It works well, and doesn't take over your system.

I have Norton Av on one pc and Mcafee on another; when using Mcafee on many incoming infected emails it doesn't seem to be able to cope, and takes ages and ages to deal with it, whereas Norton does it in an instant; a very long winded online technical 'chat' with Mcafee could only suggest I cleared the temp folder, which i have to do daily, but even then this only slightly eases the problem; i will not be using Mcafee in future
