SOFTWARE FEATURES

E-mail Scanning
VirusScan automatically scans inbound and outbound e-mail and attachments for most popular e-mail clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, Eudora, Pegasus, and others.

Instant Messenger Scanning
VirusScan scans instant message attachments sent through popular instant messaging programs.

Spyware Detection
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. ScriptStoppper detects new malicious threats and stops them from infecting your PC.

MS Outlook Scanning
VirusScan provides scanning of e-mails and e-mail folders directly from MS Outlook so you can initiate scans using the familiar MS Outlook e-mail interface.

WormStopper
The majority of new viruses are spread through email. The VirusScan WormStopper eliminates new mass-mailing worms by detecting activity that might indicate a new, undetected worm is active on your PC.

Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK^TM)
The Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK^TM) constantly monitors your computer for virus-like activity providing even more protection for Internet-based threats. It looks for events that may indicate new mass-mailers, or attachments with double file extensions. By monitoring for these typically malicious activities, HAWK notifies you and lets you take action before damage occurs. HAWK saves you time, and possibly data and money, that could be lost by virus infiltration.

PDA Synchronization Support
VirusScan 9.0 checks all entry points to your computer including the synchronization process with your PDA. By eliminating threats that could be transmitted during PDA synchronization, the integrity of your system cannot be threatened by the PDA entry point and your system is more secure.

Virus Map and Information Library
You can see how the latest threats are infecting computers worldwide, and then research them via direct links to the McAfee Virus Information Library.
