McAfee Virusscan 8.0 Professional Retail Box McAfee Virusscan Professional 8 stops viruses, trojans, worms and more! Viruses never stop. Every day it seems like there's a new version of Mydoom, Netsky or Sober. These fast-spreading mass-mailing worms easily infect exposed PCs, forward themselves to your email contacts and even help remote hackers hijack personal information. That's why McAfee VirusScan 8.0—trusted by millions worldwide—automatically scans your email, attachments and downloads, then immediately starts to clean infections. Easy to download, install and use, McAfee VirusScan 8 also automatically checks for virus updates (included FREE with your one-year coverage) whenever you go online, so your protection stays up-to-date against the latest Internet threats. No wonder in Smart Computing's latest anti-virus round-up, McAfee VirusScan came out No. 1—beating competing anti-virus products from Norton, Trend and others. Besides all the powerful features of VirusScan, VirusScan Professional Edition comes with a 2-user license (letting you protect a second computer), system clean-up and secure data erasure.

Key Benefits:

• QuickClean Lite
  Quickly cleanup your PC with a 'one click' method of reclaiming disk space, or schedule the cleanup automatically. QuickClean Lite frees your system of unwanted files like the Recycle Bin, temporary files, and others that should be removed on a regular basis. QuickClean Lite frees up disk space and improves system performance.

  Secure Data Shredding
  VirusScan Professional adds an extra layer of security and privacy for data and files by completely removing them from your computer where they cannot be recovered by any program, very similar to shredding paper files. Secure data shredding ensures maximum privacy.

  2-user License
  VirusScan Professional 8 Edition includes a 2-user license so you can use professional-strength virus protection on two computers for added value.

  Email Scanning
  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, Pegasus, and others. Email scanning provides a first line of defense from inbound threats before they arrive in your email inbox, and from outbound virus proliferation. Email scanning ensures that your computer's inbox is virus-free.

  Instant Message Scanning
  VirusScan now scans instant message attachments sent through instant messaging clients including AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and Windows Messenger. Instant message scanning provides an additional layer of security for users of popular instant message programs.

  WormStopper
  The majority of new viruses spread through email. WormStopper stops new mass-mailing worms by detecting activity that may indicate a new, undetected worm is active on your PC. WormStopper detects the sending of email to more than 40 recipients, sending more than 5 emails in less than 30 seconds, and also checks for repetitive email content. WormStopper ensures that a new undetected mass-mailing worm cannot spread using your computer providing more security for your PC.

  Detects Spyware, Adware, and Web Dialers
  VirusScan can detect potentially unwanted applications like spyware, adware, web dialers and more. VirusScan detects these applications to protect your data and privacy.

  ScriptStopper
  Many of the fastest spreading viruses, like I Love You, use scripts to infect your PC. ScriptStopper detects new malicious threats and stops them from infecting your PC. ScriptStopper alerts you of the attempted activity and will stop actions that are initiated on your computer without your knowledge. ScriptStopper detects, alerts, and stops malicious script actions to keep your computer safe from scripts involved in virus activity providing an extra layer of security for your PC.
