McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010 Review
McAfee has recently released its new product McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010. This product provides the latest version for Mac OS X Leopard users. The latest release was tailored to Mac v8.6 version and is designed to provide the best security and down to business protection for Mac users. Up until recently the main worry has been that Mac users are less protected against vulnerability and viruses than PC users who have for a long time enjoyed Norton Antivirus programmes. Thus, the availability of an additional product that would bring more security to Mac users is extremely favourable and is positively perceived in the market.
McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010 offers protection against malware and spyware and other systems that are generally referred to as targeted threats which specifically target personal information and identity data. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is managing the product from a central location and then it is much easier to develop and update users on a global scale. Overall, McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010 has an immense capability and it has been reported that it can run through more than 350,000 malware parts presented on all possible platforms.
In terms of product improvements, there are several major ones to note. Firstly, there are significant enhancements in the catching of files, such as catching on-demand, for instance. This improves overall scanning capabilities. As mentioned before, it has the centralised management, which is web-based and thus offers security in a real time frame. Finally, McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010 allows reducing the size of the signature which improves the speed and overall process of scanning, making it fast and easy. Many users favour this feature as it has additional support for incremental updates.
Needless to say that despite intense development of antivirus software such as McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010, the development of new viruses remains at a very high level. It gets more sophisticated and tricky to catch each day. So users do need to understand that there is no perfect antivirus system in existance that will provide 100% protection, though McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010 is very good and up to date which gives piece of mind, especially to Mac users. McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010 is available to buy online or through individual distributors. Similar to Norton products, there is a very strong support offered to the users through the year when the license is granted and, thus, allows for instant access download of the software and any upcoming updates.
