Safe Search & Surf
McAfee® VirusScan® Plus adds safety ratings to web sites and search engine results based on comprehensive spam, adware, and online scam safety tests. When searching with Google, Yahoo! or MSN, McAfee SiteAdvisor web security tool provides easy-to-understand safety ratings—red (danger), yellow (use caution) or green (safe)—that appear next to search results, helping you make informed decisions.
Always Updating
McAfee VirusScan Plus continuously and automatically delivers the latest software updates and upgrades so you are never under-protected or overwhelm by ever-evolving and emerging online threats.
Stops Viruses
McAfee VirusScan Plus automatically guards your PC from viruses, mass-mailing worms, backdoor Trojans and more. It also automatically cleans or quarantines infections with minimal interruption. Other built-in features include:
- McAfee SystemGuards watch for activity that may signal a virus, spyware or hacker is on your PC
- Always active detection that watches key system, Windows, host file and browser settings for suspicious changes such as DNS poisoning (a.k.a. pharming, which can redirect browsers to fraudulent web sites) or activity that can compromise anti-virus security
- McAfee X-Ray for Windows removes dangerous root-kits and other malware that can hide deep in your operating system
Halts Hackers
Constant inbound and outbound monitoring helps McAfee deter hackers, identity thieves and malware programs from robbing data, hijacking your system (e.g., to send spam) or planting viruses that can compromise privacy. Fast "load and go" setup, customizable security levels, visual tracing, smart alerts, full screen mode and intelligent application handling help fine tune security, identify the source of threats and block suspect programs from "phoning home" personal information. Other built-in features include:
- Stealth Mode helps hide your presence online, making your system practically invisible to global hackers
- HotSpot detection automatically elevates McAfee firewall security when you are not on your trusted network
- Boot-time protection shields your system from unauthorized connections before security programs are fully load
Blocks Spyware
McAfee’s spyware protection detects, blocks, and removes spyware, adware, and other suspicious programs before they can steal log-ins and passwords (key-loggers), hijack your dial-up connection (Web dialers), track online surfing (cookies) or flood you with annoying pop-up ads. Better protection based on new integrated anti-virus, anti-spyware engine.
Improves PC Health
McAfee SecurityCenter’s dashboard display helps you at a glance review your PC's security status and modify it with one-click. You can also easily check for updates, fix potential security issues or view settings in basic or advanced modes.
With built-in McAfee QuickClean technology, McAfee VirusScan Plus helps optimize your PC’s performance, eliminating drive-clogging "Internet build-up" (e.g., temp files, cached files, file remnants, Active X code), unused programs and other unnecessary clutter to free up valuable disk space. It also features a network map that shows the security status of your home network.
Multiple PC Subscription
With McAfee security subscriptions, you can easily add and manage security for multiple PCs from one.
