McAfee TOTAL VIRUS DEFENSE SB TDS70E010EAA#*FIREW* Folheto

It’s Called A Gateway

There’s a reason the point at which a

corporate network connects to the Internet

is called the Internet gateway: it’s a point

beyond which some things must not pass.

That goes for inbound as well as outbound

traffic, and it’s just as useful in fighting

viruses as in preventing intrusions. More

than 87% of all viruses enter corporate

networks through the Internet gateway*,

making this the most crucial line of defense. 

As anyone who has administered desktop

virus protection software can attest, it’s

nearly impossible to get all the desktops on a

network 100% protected with updated anti-

virus software. With today’s fast-moving

worms, all it takes is one out-of-date

machine to start a virus outbreak. If there

are other vulnerable computers on the

network, the result is a costly clean-up

effort. Even if every other computer is well

protected, the result can be hundreds of

helpdesk calls from users asking if the

message they just saw saying a virus was

cleaned is correct. McAfee’s WebShield

Internet gateway virus protection solution

can stop Internet email borne viruses before

they get to even one user on the network,

preventing those costly problems. With

McAfee’s unique Outbreak Manager

technology, WebShield can identify and stop

outbreaks even when the virus instigating

them is new and unknown. And content

filtering capabilities can help kill time-

wasting spam and virus hoaxes.

Groupware Protection 

Of course, not every piece of data on a

network enters through the Internet gateway.

For keeping those email and collaborative

environments virus free, McAfee’s GroupShield

products are just the ticket. With support for

both Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange

environments, GroupShield stands guard with

an arsenal of anti-virus defenses. Outbreak

Manager’s automated responses stop

outbreaks before they start. Content filtering

allows spam and hoax blocking, and can also

help keep confidential data from leaving the

network. Because it’s remotely manageable,

GroupShield is well suited to even the largest

and most distributed enterprise environments.

The Petri Dish of Computer
Viruses

File servers are extremely useful, productive

tools. Their utility in collaboration and file

storage makes them indispensable. But it

also makes them a favorite hiding place for

viruses. When Joe User’s out-of-date desktop

virus protection allows him to upload a virus

infected document, all the other users who

access that file can become infected. And if

the IT team starts backing up the data on

the server regularly, even the backups can

wind up infected if they’re not careful.

McAfee’s NetShield server protection can

eliminate these potential headaches. It offers

both real-time scanning to detect and clean

known viruses as files are accessed and on-

demand scanning that allows scheduled

deep-down bug scrubs of the entire system.

It’s All About Detecting and
Cleaning Viruses

At the end of the day, all the bells and

whistles in the world won’t stop a virus, if

the anti-virus solution can’t detect and clean

known viruses. All the McAfee Total Virus

Defense components use the award-winning

McAfee virus scanning engine. With unique

double heuristic scanning technology,

generic variant detection capabilities, and

industry-leading compressed file handling,

the McAfee engine is one of the best

money can buy.

Backed by AVERT

Total Virus Defense is more than just

software. It’s a partnership with McAfee. It’s

the support of the McAfee PrimeSupport

organization, which can put advice and help

from a live person at your fingertips 24

hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s the expertise

of the McAfee Anti-Virus Emergency

Response Team (AVERT). AVERT researchers

stationed all around the world combine their

expertise and skill to consistently make

McAfee one of the first to detect new

viruses. When the Anna Kournikova and

Homepage viruses were ravaging networks

worldwide, McAfee customers were relaxed

and doing business as usual, because AVERT

researchers had produced products that were

capable of detecting and cleaning the viruses

months before they were discovered.
