An Introduction to McAfee

• An Introduction to McAfee.com/Activate
• McAfee has long been one of the pioneering
  companies in the computer security market and it
  continues to provide a wide range of products for
  both home and business users. McAfee provides
  products for Windows as well as many other
  operating systems and devices, including mobile
  phones, tablet computers, Apple devices and more.
  Unlike some of its competitors, however, it does
  not offer any free antivirus protection for your
  computer although there is a free virus scanner
  available as well as trial editions of many of
  its programs. See the following for a brief
  overview of McAfees main computer security
  products for home users.
• McAfee Antivirus Plus
• McAfee Antivirus Plus is the entry level
  antivirus software provided by the company for
  home users who want to safeguard their online
  identity, surf the Internet and use their
  computers with confidence. It presents a wide
  range of features to make this possible and
  protects against all sorts of malicious software
  and potential security breaches whether you are
  using the Internet for online banking, shopping,
  social networking or a wide variety of other
  purposes. There are various licenses available
  for homes with different numbers of computers to
  protect. The software provides real-time
  protection against malicious software and hackers
  and allows you to access and modify all security
  settings through the cloud rather than the
  computer you are actually using at the time. The
  most recent 2013 edition provides spam blocking
  features, improved performance and simplified
  security management features.

How does McAfee Antivirus work?
Www.mcafee.com/Activate McAfee Antivirus
software works to block viruses from entering
your computer system and kill or quarantine
viruses that have some broken through the
firewall. To begin protecting your computer
system, McAfee Antivirus software updates its
virus database by using an automatic web crawler
that scans the Internet and identifies malicious
software by name, type and destructive
capability. With that information, the software
also scans for the way to delete the malicious
software. Once the scan is complete, the program
is prepared to impede the entry of malware on a
computer system or destroy it, if it is already
on the system.
