 McAfee
Virus Scan 2005 - Top Virus Scanning
Never go online without the latest
anti-virus protection. Fast-spreading mass-mailing viruses,
worms and Trojans like Mydoom, Bagle and Sasser can easily infect
exposed PCs over dial-up or broadband connections, forward themselves
to your email contacts and even help remote hackers hijack personal
information. That's why award-winning McAfee VirusScan-trusted
by millions worldwide-automatically scans your email, attachments,
shared disks and downloads, then immediately starts to clean
or quarantine infections. Easy to download, install and use,
McAfee VirusScan automatically checks for virus updates* whenever
you connect to the Internet, so your protection stays up-to-date
against the latest threats, including spyware.

Protection Whenever new viruses attack, McAfee VirusScan
automatically updates itself with the latest virus definitions
