Taken together, the Active Virus Defense suite forms a tight series of anti-virus
security perimeters around your network that protect you against both
external and internal sources of infection. Those perimeters, correctly
configured and implemented in conjunction with a clear enterprise-wide
anti-virus security policy, do indeed offer useful redundancy, but their chief
benefit lies in their ability to stop viruses as they enter your network, without
your having to await a tardy or accidental discovery. Early detection contains
infections, saves on the costs of virus eradication, and in many cases can
prevent a destructive virus payload from triggering.

McAfee anti-virus research
Even the best anti-virus software is only as good as its latest update. Because
as many as 200 to 300 viruses and variants appear each month, the .DAT files
that enable McAfee software to detect and remove viruses can get quickly
outdated. If you have not updated the files that originally came with your
software, you could risk infection from newly emerging viruses. McAfee has,
however, assembled the world’s largest and most experienced anti-virus
research staff in its Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team (AVERT)*. This
premier anti-virus research organization has a worldwide reach and a “follow
the sun” coverage policy, that ensures that you get the files you need to combat
new viruses as soon as—and often before—you need them. You can take
advantage of many of the direct products of this research by visiting the
AVERT research site on the Network Associates website:
