McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention uses a patented host intrusion technology to prevent buffer-overflow attacks, one of the most common methods of attacking desktops
Application Blocking
Control which specific applications can run—or must never run—on any given computer for an added layer of protection
Windows firewall protection
Apply different security parameters based on how your system connects to the network (wired or wireless) with a stateful firewall for Windows; quarantine noncompliant systems as they attempt to connect to the network and block system ports
