Product Features
Comprehensive McAfee anti-virus protection
The McAfee antivirus scan engine stops every type of virus and malicious code threat, including “traditional” viruses, email worms, Internet worms, DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks, backdoor and remote access Trojans, and zombies. Using technology that drills down into compressed data, NetShield is also able to find hidden threats buried in .zip and other compressed file types.
Protection from tomorrow's threats
The advanced heuristic analysis used by NetShield looks through the code in a file, determining if the actions it takes are typical of a virus. The more "virus-like" code found, the more likely it is to be infected. To reduce the risk of false alarms, this "positive" heuristics approach is combined with "negative" heuristics, which searches for those things that are distinctly non-virus-like.
In addition, NetShield employs generic antivirus detection, which involves using a single virus definition to detect and clean many variants of the same virus family. This is especially useful today, when a "successful" threat is often followed by a host of variants.
Continuous on-access scanning
Unlike previous on-demand or scheduled scanning approaches, NetShield for NetWare provides constant antivirus scanning in real time, offering protection to users when they are accessing or copying files or when files are being written to the server.
Novell "Yes" tested and approved
NetShield for NetWare is tested and approved, and has earned the Novell "Yes" Logo certification. McAfee is also a strategic Novell Partner, which results in faster, easier, and more integrated antivirus defense for customers in Novell environments or mixed NetWare/Linux networks.
Centralized management and reporting
NetShield for NetWare integrates with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator - one of the only truly scalable security policy management tools - for policy management, detailed graphical reporting, and software deployment. ePolicy Orchestrator is a centralized authority to enforce protection, providing a single console to manage your McAfee deployments.
