McAfee VirusScan Professional Edition
Welcome to McAfee VirusScan Professional Edition

Introduction

Stop viruses and keep your PC safe with McAfee VirusScan! When you're surfing the Internet, there's more to worry about than just viruses. You need to be able to control the communications into and out of your PC to ensure that your computer is safe. VirusScan destroys threats at all entry points to your PC including e-mail and synchronization with your PDA. It constantly monitors and stops virus-like activity on your computer to prevent any new threats from spreading. If you've got an Internet connection, you need more than just anti-virus protection, you need VirusScan!
Whats new in this release?
Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK) constantly monitors your computer for virus-like activity providing even more protection from Internet-based threats. It looks for events that may indicate new mass-mailers are present, or attachments with double file extensions. HAWK has been enhanced to include e-mail clients other than just Microsoft Outlook - it now supports Outlook Express, Eudora, and other e-mail that uses SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) - this includes many popular email clients however does not include Internet-based email (like Hotmail, for example).
Script Stopper: Many of the fastest spreading viruses, like I Love You, use scripts to infect your PC. VirusScan 7 stops new malicious threats from infecting your system with Script Stopper. Using HAWK's constant monitoring to detect actions that are often included in script-based viruses, Script Stopper alerts you of the attempted activity and will stop the actions that are initiated on your computer without your knowledge. Script Stopper detects, alerts, and blocks malicious script actions to keep your computer safe from script-initiated threats. Integrated with Windows Explorer: VirusScan 7 includes a Windows Explorer plug-in that lets you quickly scan files and access other VirusScan features directly from Windows Explorer making it easier than ever to use award-winning VirusScan technology.

Microsoft Office Integration: VirusScan 7 scans Microsoft Office 2000+ documents to provide extra protection to users of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (2000+) in the event that VShield background scanning must be disabled. Usability enhancements: McAfee VirusScan Professional Edition includes many user interface enhancements to make it easier than ever to keep your computer and electronic files virus free.
What comes with McAfee VirusScan Professional Edition?
McAfee VirusScan Professional Edition consists of several components that combine one or more related programs, each of which play a part in defending your computer against viruses and other malicious software. These components are:
The VirusScan Home page. This is your central entry point in using all of tasks and components. The Home page provides relevant information such as your computers current Automatic Protection Settings status and version information about your virus definitions. The Home page also informs you if an update to McAfee VirusScan Professional is available for download and the total number of scan operations performed. On-Demand Scanning (ODS). On-demand scanning enables you to scan at any time. For example, if you suspect you have come in contact with an infected file, but have not accessed the file, you may manually scan the suspect file, folder, drive, etc. To perform an on-demand scan, simply select the Scan for viruses now task from the McAfee VirusScan Professional Edition Home page.
The VShield Scanner. This is an On-access Scanning (OAS) component that gives you continuous anti-virus protection from viruses that arrive on floppy disks, from your network, or from various sources on the Internet. The VShield scanner starts when you start your computer, and stays in memory until you shut down. A flexible set of property pages lets you tell the scanner which parts of your system to examine, what to look for, which parts to leave alone, and how to respond to any infected files it finds. In addition, the scanner can alert you when it finds a virus, and can summarize each of its actions. Hostile Activity Watch Kernel. HAWK monitors your computer for suspicious activity that may indicate a virus is present on your system. As opposed to VirusScan, which cleans the virus, HAWK prevents viruses, worms, and trojans from spreading further. HAWK monitors e-mail clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and any other client that supports SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), but does not support Internet-based e-mail such as MSNs Hotmail. HAWK incorporates McAfees Script Stopper to detect, alert, and block malicious script actions to keep your computer safe from script-initiated threats.

Safe & Sound. This component allows you to create backup sets in protected volume files, which is the safest and preferred type of backup. A protected volume file is a sectioned-off area of the drive, sometimes called a logical drive.
Safe & Sound is a VirusScan utility that is only functional when McAfee VirusScan Professional Edition is installed in conjunction with a Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, or Windows Me operating system.
Quarantine. This component allows you to move infected files to a quarantine folder. This moves infected files from areas where they can be accessed and enables you to clean or delete them at your convenience. The E-mail Scan extension. This component allows you to scan your Microsoft Exchange or Outlook mailbox, or public folders to which you have access, directly on the server. This invaluable x-ray peek into your mailbox means that VirusScan software can find potential infections before they make their way to your desktop, which can stop a Melissa-like virus in its tracks. The Emergency Disk creation utility. This essential utility helps you to create a floppy disk that you can use to boot your computer into a virus-free environment, then scan essential system areas to remove any viruses that could load at startup. Bootable CD. The VirusScan Installation CD includes a CD version of the emergency startup disk. If your computer is configured to start using its CD drive, then you can use the CD to boot your computer in to a virus-free environment then scan for viruses that load during startup. McAfee Instant Updater. Enables your computer to automatically communicate with McAfee while you are connected to the internet and inquire of the availability of product updates, updates to anti-virus signature files, and updates to the VirusScan scan engine. You will also use this feature to register your McAfee product. Wireless device protection. Comprehensive wireless device protection. In addition to total anti-virus protection for your PC, VirusScan protects your wireless device and PC from harmful viruses transferred during the synchronization process. Wireless device protection also includes resident on the device detection and cleaning scanners to protect your wireless device from viruses during wireless use. Command-line Scanners. This component consists of a set of full-featured scanners you can use to run targeted scan operations from the MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt windows, or from protected MS-DOS mode. The set includes:

VShield automatic protection settings
The VShield scanner consists of related modules, each of which has a specialized function. You can configure settings for all of these modules in the VShield properties sheet.

System Scan

The System scanner looks for viruses on your hard disk as you work with your computer. It tracks files as your system or other computers read files from your hard disk or write files to it. It can also scan floppy disks and network drives mapped to your system. The System scanner provides scanning protections against viruses embedded in or attached to e-mail messages as well as well as files that you download from the Internet. The System scanners functionality replaces that which was included in the Download and Internet scanners included with previous versions of McAfee VirusScan Professional.

E-mail Scan

The E-mail scanner monitors e-mail messages and message attachments that you receive via interoffice e-mail systems, and via the Internet. It scans your Microsoft Exchange or Outlook mailbox systems.
Hostile Activity Watch Kernel
HAWK monitors your computer for suspicious activity that may indicate a virus is present on your system. As opposed to VirusScan, which cleans the virus, HAWK prevents viruses, worms, and trojans from spreading further. Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK) is a VirusScan option that enables constant monitoring for suspicious activity that may indicate a virus is present on your system. Suspicious activity includes:
An attempt to forward e-mail to a large portion of your address book. Attempts to forward multiple e-mail messages in rapid succession.
E-mail attachments containing program files (executable files with an.exe file extension) or scripts that can be used to mask the actual type document transmitted to you. By monitoring for these typically malicious activities, HAWK notifies you and lets you take action before damage occurs. HAWK can prevent viruses, worms, and trojans from spreading further, while VirusScan cleans the virus to remove it from your computer.
About Script Stopper Script Stopper is a VirusScan protection mechanism associated with the HAWK. Script Stopper detects the activities performed by malicious script methods and routines. For example, Script Stopper detects scripts that try to:
Delete, open, or make files in your computer. Send e-mail messages without your knowledge or consent. Access your computers registry.
Script Stopper allows you to create a list of trusted scripts. If you encounter a script that is acting in a hostile manner, an alert message displays. At such time, you can block the script from running now, and at any time in the future. If you recognize the script, you can allow it to run. If you allow a script to run, and indicate that you recognize the script, McAfee VirusScan Professional adds the script to its records of trusted scripts. If there are scripts that you frequently use, or want to allow to run, you can add scripts to a trusted database directly from the Script Stopper property sheet in the HAWK scan module.
