McAfee VirusScan Enterprise is an innovative technology for PCs and servers. It proactively stops and removes malicious software, extends coverage against new security risks, and reduces the cost of responding to outbreaks.Ā Enterprises cannot afford to wait for every threat to be identified and a signature file to be released. The time between attack and subsequent identification is critical, and the shorter, the better. It's better yet if your protection technology identifies new, unknown threats.
By blending advanced anti-virus, firewall, and intrusion prevention technologies, VirusScan Enterprise covers a broad range of threats.
With advanced heuristics and generic detection it finds even new, unknown viruses, even hidden in compressed files. McAfee VirusScan
Enterprise looks for exploits known to target Microsoft applications and services and will identify and block threats that take advantage of
JavaScript and VisualBasic coding.
And since virus protection is only as good as its latest update, the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise database is updated daily with information
from McAfee AvertĀ® Labs, one of the world's top threat research center.
