What is McAfee lol!

McAfee:

AntiVirus Solution. Voted #1 in 2005!. McAfee also comes, if you but the whole suite, with Spam Killer, Privacy Service, Personal Firewall. Just McAfee Virus Scan comes with McAfee Virus Scan program, and McAfee Security Center, a great replacement for Windows Security Center.

Privacy Service

Keeps your personal information safe!

Spam Killer

Prevents you from sending and recieving spam email

Personal Firewall Plus

Stop hacker. Monitors inbound and outbound internet connections and alerts of suspicious activity and potentially harmful incoming packets.

There are two McAfee things:

1. Security Suite- Includes Virus Scan, Security Center, Personal Firewall, Smakiller, Privacy Service.
2. Virus Scan only- McAfee VirusScan, Security Center.

The website you gave me about the McAfee Internet Security Suite, includes all things mentioned in [1]. How does it work? How do i know? Just install it and you will see.

You want more and more. Those screenshots are the McAfee security center. What does it do? Tells you all infomation about your antivirus, anti hacker software etc.

My Anti-virus index ( what is this?)
Tells you if your Antivirus Software is enabled and up to date.

My Anti-hacker index ( what is this?)

Tells you if you have sufficient anti hacker software, usually a firewall. Will alert you once if you have Windows Firewall turned on.

My Anti-abuse index ( what is this?)
Alerts you if you have no anti abuse software installed. (only alerts by telling you through index)

My Anti-spam index ( what is this?)
Tells you information about your current anti spam software. Also tells you if you have none installed.

My Tip:

Windows Firewall and McAfee Virus Scan only is good enough protection. I currently have that setup and am going OK with it. The other features which only come with the whole security suite, slow your system down. McAfee Virus Scan only, on the other hand works great! Has real time protection like never before! Also, updates come daily! And if you have trouble with your McAfee product you can go HERE. There are choices of talk to a live technician, or email a technician. All help is provided 24/7.

Enough information?

Also Mcafee is good for home network security:eek: I can stop Virus , Security Center, Personal Firewall, Smakiller, Privacy Service so on, on network.Just scan the network ports you don't need more than 1 copie .Just get one and load it on one computer and scan your ports .

But remember it is illegal.:eek:They what you to have copie for every computer in house.


You can also do that with adware or spybot too..

what are you talking about. First you want to know what it is now you're saying its illegal?
I'm just saying if someone has 4 computers in house and only gets one copy of Mcafee for home network security it is illegal.What they want you to do is get 4 copy of Mcafee for each computer.

They don't like you to load it on one computer and scan the ports for Virus , Security Center, Personal Firewall, Smakiller, Privacy Service so on, on network.
