McAfee Internet Security Suite blocks online identity theft, detects and

against hackers.

Malicious software, typically called ‘viruses’, are programs designed to 
infect and damage computers. Most viruses are transmitted over the 
Internet, emails or malicious Web sites. A typical virus will replicate 
and pass itself undetected to multiple computers. Other forms of 
nuisance, such as Trojan horses, worms or spam can infect your 
computer in various ways, using up resources or clogging up a 
network.

Spyware refers to generally unwanted programs that are downloaded 
onto your computer while connected to the Internet, often without you 
knowing it. Once it has infected your computer, it can snoop on your 
browsing activity, collect personal information, cause pop-up ads to 
appear, or even change the configuration of your computer. Spyware 
consumes resources on your computer; it can slow down your Internet 
connection or entire computer system, and even cause crashes.
