Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Stop viruses and hackers from attacking your PC. PC protection is nothing to take lightly. Every day you get online, you are exposed to more viruses and smarter hackers. And with the advent of handheld devices such as PDAs, computer viruses are no longer limited to desktops and shared disks. These days, you need to take advantage of all the protection you can get. For reliable protection, choose VirusScan 6.0 Professional, a superior anti-virus product with even more features for comprehensive PC protection. Now you have one solution to eliminate viruses, quickly clean up your PC, permanently erase private information, and more.VirusScan 6.0 Professional technology enables your PC to detect and remove all types of known viruses from any source-including e-mail attachments, Internet downloads, shared disks, CD-ROMs, and even PDA synchronization. It also detects destructive ActiveX and Java applets, which are often downloaded without your knowledge while you browse. VirusScan 6.0 Professional software is one of the first anti-virus software that comes with an integrated personal firewall (US and Canada versions only), an easy-to-use application that blocks hackers from gaining access to your system. Whether you have a dial-up or broadband connection, the firewall puts up a barrier to protect you and your PC... even when you're away from your computer. Each time you connect your PDA to your PC, it's as dangerous as having an unknown floppy disk inserted into your computer. That's why VirusScan 6.0 Professional includes anti-virus support for more handheld devices than other anti-virus solutions. VirusScan 6.0 Professional also adds essential technology for everyday PC computing, including automatic cleanup of unnecessary files, secure data shredding, and more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from 6.0, 19 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I own a dell gx1. The program installed fine until I tried to update the dat file. Something corrupted the initial scan before windows starts up. And yes I followed the instructions on the web site to a 'T'. I had to bypass the autoexec.bat file's mcafee bootscan command to start windows. Leaves it wide open for a bootsector virus. Next problem I noticed was ability to block certain IP numbers from your computer. After inserting 3 different numbers I came back to find only 1 in the list. On top of that, it reverses the IP number displaying that is trying to block! It also screws up Freecell and Solitaire. I would expect much better from McAfee. Version 6.0 is junk. Had to reload 4.0.

4.0 out of 5 stars McAfee Virus Scan, 23 Oct 2001
By A Customer
No computer should be without anti-virus and firewall protection and the new version of McAfee's VirusScan makes it more difficult that ever for those unwanted intruders to get into your system.

Although it slows your machine down a little, give me one virus scan that doesn't!!!!

Finally......here's an easy way to safeguard your computer.

With over 55,000 computer viruses worming their way through the immense network we call the internet, that number is growing daily it is essential that you have a strudy reliable product in place to look after your PC.

VirusScan 6.0 ensures that you are prepared and with its ease of use, anyone can now make sure that they are safe against even the most treacherous virus's. Trust me, you only have to be hit once by a virus to know hoe frustrating it can be. It is all too often that people think.....it'll never happen to me. Those sorts of things only happen to other people. DON'T be fooled. It could even be sitting on your computer now just waiting to be activated by you launching a file or waiting for that date to tick around. In other words these hackers are the terrorists of cyberspace!!!!

The new version of McAfee's virus scan, can not only seek and destroy the viruses but detects and removes all types of known viruses from any source-including e-mail attachments, Internet downloads, shared disks, CD-ROMs, and synchronization with your PDA. McAfee VirusScan software also detects destructive ActiveX and Java applets, which are often downloaded without your knowledge while browsing.

This new version is also the first version to include an integrated personal firewall, an application that blocks hackers from gaining access to your system and to ensure that your PDA stays safe as well.END

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this product, 9 Dec 2001
By A Customer
I bought this in the recent virus scares. Duly delivered and I installed, following the prompts included. After installation, you turn off the machine and restart...except it wouldn't. It took 3 or 4 phone calls, almost 5 hours and a transfer to a supervisor to even be able to restart the computer. Then, thinking all was well, I decided to chill out with a Free Cell game. Wrong! All games are now distorted..check out their FAQ's and you will see this is common. The generic check list doesn't free it and 45 minutes online hasn't done the trick either. Looks like another prohibitively expensive call to a real technician. Could the virus to your machine be worse than this hassle? I may have to uninstall and call WatchDog regarding this one!
