Leading anti-virus technology
The McAfee anti-virus scan engine stops every type of virus and malicious code threat, including “traditional" viruses, email worms, Internet worms, DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks, backdoor and remote access Trojans, and zombies. Using technology that drills down into compressed data, Active Virus Defense is also able to find hidden threats buried in .zip and other compressed file types.
Proactive protection is delivered through advanced heuristics and generic detection, which allow Active Virus Defense to protect—in advance—against new, unseen viruses and other threats.
Centralized management and reporting with ePO
Active Virus Defense is integrated with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator—one of the only truly scalable security policy management tools—for policy management and detailed graphical reporting. ePolicy Orchestrator is a centralized authority to enforce protection compliance, providing a single console to manage your McAfee Security deployments.
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for desktops and file servers
VirusScan provides comprehensive anti-virus protection for the hardest part of the system to manage—desktops and file servers. Powerful, flexible, and bandwidth-friendly, VirusScan delivers protection the way it’s needed in today's fast-moving, highly adaptive businesses.
McAfee WebShield for Internet gateways
McAfee WebShield keeps viruses and other Web-based threats out of the network, stopping them before they enter at the Internet gateway. And with integrated content filtering of messages to prevent offensive or inappropriate content from reaching users, WebShield keeps both inbound and outbound SMTP traffic clean and virus-free.
McAfee GroupShield® for email servers
The Internet is not the only entry point for a virus—collaborative environments such as email servers are also at risk. McAfee GroupShield specifically protects this layer of the network, with anti-virus support for Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange servers.
McAfee NetShield for NetWare
McAfee NetShield protects NetWare file servers through real-time scanning to detect and clean viruses and other threats. By caching file status when an initial scan is performed, NetShield ensures that clean files are not rescanned unless and until modified, significantly improving performance and efficiency.
Quick, hassle-free updating
With its AutoUpdate functionality, Active Virus Defense uses pull technology to automatically retrieve the latest updates, keeping all systems current and protected. Updates are fast, smart, and bandwidth-friendly.
