every time a file is accessed. It automatically detects viral infections as they attempt to infect
a system and protects against Macintosh, PC, and UNIX viruses. In addition, it has the ability
to scan Apple

Protection from Tomorrow’s Threats
McAfee VirusScan for Mac uses heuristic analysis and generic detection that proactively
protects against new and previously unknown viruses. The advanced heuristic analysis looks
through the code in a file to determine if the actions it takes are typical of a virus. The more
virus-like code found, the more likely the file is to be infected. To reduce the risk of false
alarms, our positive heuristics approach is combined with negative heuristics, which searches
for those things that are distinctly non-virus-like.
