8.0 as the 'Smart Choice' for PC Users McAfee Anti-Virus Solution
Receives the 'May 2004 Smart Choice' Award Based on Ease-of-Use and
Consistently High Marks From Independent Researchers SANTA CLARA,
Calif., May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network Associates, Inc. ,
the leading provider of intrusion prevention solutions, today
announced its award-winning anti-virus solution for consumers,
McAfee(R) VirusScan(R) 8.0, has won Smart Computing magazine's
"Smart Choice" award. McAfee VirusScan 8.0, which includes
detection and removal of viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware, was
selected for the award based on its comprehensive feature list and
its "virus-stopping prowess." The full review of McAfee VirusScan
8.0 can be found in the May 2004 issue of Smart Computing. "We are
pleased to announce that McAfee VirusScan 8.0 has been awarded
Smart Computing's 'Smart Choice' award. This award is given to the
product that performs best overall at a specific task among its
competitors," said Jeff Schnittker, marketing representative for
Smart Computing. "Recent consumer PC threats are at an all-time
high, making the need for an all-inclusive anti-virus solution
immediate and essential. With McAfee VirusScan 8.0, home and small
business users can trust their personal information and PCs are
protected from viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, web dialers, and
other malicious threats around the clock," said Bill Kerrigan,
senior vice president, McAfee Security Consumer division at Network
Associates(R). "We are thrilled that a reader-driven publication
like Smart Computing has recognized and selected our comprehensive
and easy-to-use anti- virus product as the 'Smart Choice' to secure
today's PC user." In a thorough head-to-head performance test of
competing products, Smart Computing selected McAfee VirusScan 8.0
as the best product tested, but it was a number of unique features
within VirusScan 8.0 that the editors specifically called out.
These award-winning features include: WormStopper(TM): WormStopper
technology helps to stop new mass-mailing worms by detecting
activity that may indicate a new, unidentified worm is active on a
user's PC. WormStopper will detect when the system attempts to send
out email to a significant number of recipients at once, or when
too many emails are being sent over a 30 second period. WormStopper
also checks for repetitive email content and will block any
suspicious outgoing email and automatically alert the user in an
attempt to stop a new mass-mailing worm from spreading. Spyware,
Adware, and Web Dialer Detection: VirusScan detects potentially
unwanted programs, such as spyware, adware, web dialers and more,
helping to protect users' data and privacy. ScriptStopper(TM): Some
of the fastest-spreading viruses, like "I Love You," use scripts to
infect a PC. ScriptStopper detects, alerts, and prevents malicious
script actions that are initiated on the computer without the
user's consent. MS Outlook Scanning: McAfee VirusScan provides easy
scanning of email and email folders from within MS Outlook so users
may initiate email scans at any time. McAfee VirusScan is currently
available at the Company's Web site: http://www.mcafee.com/,
through key retailers and for members of Internet service and
e-mail providers, such as AOL and MSN. About McAfee Security The
