McAfee Total Virus Defense

An Important Tool

For many businesses today, their networks are their livelihood. For the rest, the network is merely their

most important mission-critical asset. According to the 2001 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey,

computer viruses are the most common and most costly threats to computer networks today. With more

than 300 new viruses discovered each month, and the most prevalent viruses spreading around the globe

in a matter of hours, does it make sense to have anything less than a total virus defense?

Top-to-Bottom Protection

To effectively combat the ever-changing virus threat, you should establish an anti-virus policy. Most

companies today understand the need for virus protection. But fewer have put virus defenses in place at

all possible entry points. Today’s fast-moving worms and mass-mailing viruses make it necessary to

establish a policy of total coverage and to maintain 95% or better compliance with that policy. Because

even one unprotected computer on the network can lead to an eruption of worm or mass-mailer activity,

total protection is the only effective defense.

Most companies need protection at the desktop, file server, groupware server, and Internet gateway.

Total Virus Defense offers industry-leading protection for each of these four network tiers. 

Popular Desktop Protection

Every desktop on the network represents several vectors of infection, or ways for viruses to enter the

network. Floppy disks, CDs burned at home, personal e-mail accounts, and PDAs are just a few of the

routes a virus might take onto the network. That’s why comprehensive, manageable desktop virus

protection is essential. VirusScan is the protection of choice for desktops. A host of installation and

customization features make it one of the most manageable desktop anti-virus solution on the market

today. VirusScan can detect viruses in email attachments even before the message is opened. VirusScan

will filter out malicious Java and ActiveX applets while users surf the web. VirusScan checks files for

viruses every time they are accessed—whether it’s to move, copy, create, rename or download the file. In

short, VirusScan puts comprehensive protection on the desktop.
