Product Features

Leading anti-virus technology

The McAfee anti-virus 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, VirusScan is also able to find hidden threats buried in .zip and other compressed file types.

Proactive protection is delivered through advanced heuristics and generic detection, which allow VirusScan to protect—in advance—against new, unseen viruses and other threats.

Centralized management and reporting with ePO™

Active VirusScan is integrated with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator—one of the only truly scalable security policy management tools—for policy management and detailed graphical reporting. ePolicy Orchestrator is a centralized authority to enforce protection compliance, providing a single console to manage your McAfee deployments.
More on ePolicy Orchestrator

Quick, hassle-free updating

With its AutoUpdate functionality, VirusScan uses pull technology to automatically retrieve the latest updates, keeping all systems current and protected. Updates are fast, smart, and bandwidth-friendly.

Email protection

Email is often the entry point for viruses, worms, and other malicious code trying to enter the network. Active VirusScan protection extends to MAPI and POP-3 email formats, keeping users of Web-based email safe from mass-mailer viruses and other threats.

Internet filter

Employees surfing the Web can unknowingly launch malicious Java and AppleX applets. The advanced VirusScan Internet filter defends desktops from these applets, and gives administrators the flexibility to block access to certain Web sites.

Download scanning

Active VirusScan prevents users from downloading infected attachments from Web sites or FTP servers, with download scanning of email and Web content.

Dedicated protection for NetWare® file servers
McAfee NetShield® for NetWare protects file servers through real-time scanning to detect and clean viruses and other threats. By caching file status when an initial scan is performed, NetShield ensures that clean files are not rescanned until modified, significantly improving performance and efficiency.
