McAfee 8.7

McAfee is one of the best known industry leaders on the computer security front, and their small business antivirus software solution is pretty good. McAfee VirusScan takes advantage of effective features and simple management to create a great security software solution. McAfee VirusScan performs well, protecting your business computers and servers from all manner of malware, including viruses, worms, adware, spyware, keyloggers, trojans, blended attacks, and even buffer overflows.


Features:

McAfee VirusScan is a fairly feature-filled business antivirus software. The product includes the abilities to perform on-access and on-demand virus scans, as well as schedule scans to run at specific times. McAfee accommodates script blocking, scanning of compressed files, and protecting the registry files from malware.

McAfee VirusScan also utilizes an integrated firewall. VirusScan also specifically protects computers against threats that target Microsoft programs like Word, Excell, Outlook, and even Internet Explorer and Windows Operating Systems. Furthermore, VirusScan keeps an eye out for threats that compromise JavaScript and VisualBasic coding. McAfee VirusScan even detects the rogue threats that write directly to memory (SQLSlammer, CodeRed).

Unfortunately, McAfee VirusScan is missing a few nice features that some of the other software products include, such as protection for smartphones, scanning of removable drives, device restricting, and IM protection. Still, McAfee VirusScan has all the essential features and the product offers quite a bit of utility.

Effectiveness:

McAfee VirusScan is quite effective at protecting your business resources, including servers. One of the reasons the software is so good at detecting threats is because it utilizes heuristic detection to analyze file behavior and locate viruses before they are even known and on DAT files. McAfee Artemis Technology scans and blocks known and unknown threats, even before a specific signature is available. Updates are provided regularly to keep your protection current, at least once a day.

Another effective solution is the ability to protect email programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. The actual text and attachments are scanned and filtered to evade email-borne threats.

Scalability:

VirusScan from McAfee can accommodate most businesses. The software is flexible, and will work on a number of configurations.

VirusScan doesn’t just protect your in-house facilities, but can secure your resources on the road. Laptops can be protected, and will resume updates when the connection is re-established with the network.

Management:

McAfee VirusScan utilizes the ePolicy Orchestrator for centralized management and deployment of the software and accompanying updates. ePolicy Orchestrator accommodates simple management with an intuitive console and allows for ensuring company-wide security compliance. The company can be monitored overall, but the software also allows you to address problems on individual computers. The quarantine is centrally accessible and manageable. And because the VirusScan files are locked down, hackers (or disgruntled employees) can’t disable them.

Help & Support:

McAfee technical support is pretty decent, but usually requires subscribing for additional support with your product purchase. Some assistance can be found online in the form of help videos, and product documentation. McAfee also offers phone support and a searchable online knowledgebase.

Summary:

McAfee VirusScan is another great business antivirus solutions, offering centrally managed protection for endpoint workstations and servers from a variety of malware threats. The software is pretty simple to manage, and takes advantage of modern technologies to provide effective and efficient protection. Overall, McAfee VirusScan with ePolicy Orchestrator is a great way to protect your important business resources on many levels.
