McAfee VirusScan 5.1 Deluxe
With new viruses appearing in the wild on a daily basis, your data is under constant attack, and it's essential to get some protection. McAfee's VirusScan is one of the top antivirus products, and also includes PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption software and First Aid 2000 to help diagnose computer problems. VirusScan conducts an interview during installation to help schedule regular scans, create a rescue-boot disk set, and run the new Safe-and-Sound utility, which automatically backs up selected documents to a free area on the hard disk. VShield provides around-the-clock protection and monitors all files that are created, renamed, modified, copied, or executed and blocks access to the files it suspects are infected. Internet-born viruses get a rough time as VShield scans all downloads and checks for hostile ActiveX controls and Java applets. Access to specific Web sites can be blocked using either a URL or IP address, and the new x-ray feature scans e-mail messages before they are even opened. VirusScan can be scheduled to run at regular intervals. If a virus is detected it leads you gently through a clean-up process that lets you clean the infected file, quarantine it, or delete it. The signature file can be easily kept up to date as the McAfee AVERT team regularly posts new updates on its Web site. Viruses are a constant threat, and there's no excuse for not protecting your PC. VirusScan slams the door shut in their faces. --Dave Mitchell

Real User Review: Name: Julio Benavides Campos Location: Bucaramanga, CO Review Summary : Inútil Review : Cuando compré el producto no sabÃa nada sobre el servicio al cliente de Mcafee. El resultado fue que tenÃa un antivirus que no se podÃa actualizar.
Name: Location: Review Summary : The worst software EVER! Review : I've had problems with this stupid company for years. Now.....I'm still having problems. First of all i had major registry problems with virusscan 4.x, then i had to buy a "software maintanance plan" to upgrade to virusscan 5.1. Then the maintanance program installer was corrupted. And I could not re-download it again, I had to call tech-support and beg them to let me download the file i had already purchased. Then when i installed the maintanance plan program (finally) i got a blue screen crash upon restart. When i restarted, my PC locked up again, so i had to restart AGAIN, and it locked up AGAIN, and i restarted AGAIN, then it finally started up. I upgraded to 5.1 (A big no-no) Upon restarting after installation, my PC locked up AGAIN. Then the program kept disabling itself. I called tech support, and they told me, sigh, to edit my registry, which never works. I did as they told me so, and the program started to work fine, until my internet browser started to lock-up. And this thing called "Safe and sound" magically appeared on my PC and started to take up disk space. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
