McAfee AntiSpyware

McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise Overview:

Protect your users and systems from spyware before it gets a foothold. Reduce the risks associated with spyware—identity theft, network corruption, loss of productivity, and slower Internet access—with industrial-strength McAfee AntiSpyware. Our award-winning on-access scanning technology stops spyware in its tracks before it can compromise confidential information and slow down your business.

Description:

Spyware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) like adware, keyloggers, and dialers can do some serious damage if left unchecked. Don’t let spyware bog down your network or compromise the safety of your employees and your confidential data. Security-minded businesses owe it to themselves and to their employees to combat these insidious threats. McAfee AntiSpyware offers enterprise-grade protection against potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) with our unique on-access scanning technology.

Unlike other software that deals with spyware after the fact, McAfee AntiSpyware catches it before it installs, so that it can’t spawn other programs or files that can end up installing in your applications or registry entries. Using behavioral-based methods and daily registry-signature updates, McAfee AntiSpyware finds and blocks both known and unknown spyware.

Your AntiSpyware and PUP database is maintained by McAfee Avert® Labs, the world's top threat research center. When you integrate AntiSpyware with McAfee VirusScan®, you combine spyware and virus protection in a single scanning engine that's easier to manage and maintains high performance.
