MC AFEE VIRUS SCAN UPDATE FULL
While using McAfee VirusScan 2006, we noticed that full system scans took unusually long to complete. Norton AntiVirus 2006 provides much more detail regarding potential spyware dangers. We wish, though, that McAfee offered more detailed information about the PUP encountered so that one could better decide if the download in question is truly an unwanted program and not just take McAfee's word for it.
MC AFEE VIRUS SCAN UPDATE INSTALL
We were impressed with how effective this was in our tests, alerting us before spyware even had the chance to install and run. While McAfee VirusScan 2005 protected against spyware only during on-demand system scans, McAfee VirusScan 2006 offers on-access protection, continuously checking and blocking so-called PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) from running, and even stopping spyware during the installation process. As a result, products that protect you against spyware have become more popular.
Over the past few years, spyware and adware infections have become more widespread and perhaps as much of a threat as viruses.
We found this feature to be a bit too sensitive, alerting us whenever we sent out too many e-mail messages with similar subject or content, though this feature can be disabled. To combat a full spectrum of malware, McAfee VirusScan 2006 scans incoming and outgoing e-mail. Using the Security Center sometimes feels like you're being bombarded by a never-ending sales pitch. Unfortunately, the Security Center devotes lots of screen real estate to McAfee's other products, such as McAfee SpamKiller and McAfee Personal Firewall, whether you have these installed or not. To run a scan, you load the McAfee VirusScan icon to configure your virus scan, however, you'll need to bring up the McAfee Security Center. The software places an icon in the system tray that lets you easily access the software's functions, either by right-clicking to bring up a menu or double-clicking. McAfee VirusScan 2006 installs easily, either as a boxed product or via the Web.
