Anti-Virus

On-access scanning automatically guards your PC, email, IM, downloads, photos, music files, videos, financial records, Web banking and shopping, and privacy from new viruses, mass-mailing worms and backdoor Trojans. Automatically cleans or quarantines infections with minimal interruption to your computing. World renowned Avert Labs researchers and daily updates deliver fast, zero-day protection from the latest threats.
* New! McAfee SystemGuards watch your computer for activity that may signal active virus, spyware or hacker presence.
* New! Always-on detection watches key system, Windows, host file and browser settings for malicious changes such as DNS poisoning-Pharming (which can redirect surfing to fraudulent websites) or activity that can compromise anti-virus security (e.g., buffer overflow attacks).
* New! McAfee X-Ray for Windows removes dangerous root-kits and other malware that hide deep in your operating system.
* New! Up to 40% faster virus scanning.
* New! Smaller DATs update your anti-virus defense faster.


Anti-Spyware

On-access detection helps detect and safely delete spyware, adware and other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) before they can steal log-ins and passwords (key-loggers), hijack your dial-up connection (Web dialers), track online surfing (cookies) or flood your surfing with annoying pop-up ads.

* New! McAfee SiteAdvisor� tests, analyzes and rates websites in detail for unsafe or annoying practices such as dangerous downloads, spamming, misuse of personal information and browser hijacking. This helps you sidestep possible identity theft or fraud traps. When searching with Google, Yahoo! or MSN, SiteAdvisor's easy-to-understand safety ratings�red (danger), yellow (information) or green (safe)�appear next to search results, helping you make safe and informed surfing decisions.
* New! Simpler, plain English explanations of PUPs and the risks they pose.


Firewall

Constant inbound and outbound monitoring helps block hackers, identity thieves and programs from robbing data, hijacking your system (e.g., to send spam) or planting viruses that can compromise privacy over dial-up or broadband. Fast "load and go" setup, customizable security levels, visual tracing, smart alerts, full screen mode and intelligent application handling help fine tune security, identify the source of threats and block suspect programs from "phoning home" personal information.

* New! Stealth Mode helps hide your Internet presence, making a system practically invisible to global hackers.
* New! HotSpot detection automatically ups firewall security when not on your trusted network.
* New! Boot-time protection guards your system from unauthorized connections before security programs fully load.

McAfee Security Center and PC Health

* New! At a glance, upgraded McAfee Security Center helps review your computer's security status and modify with one-click. Check for updates, fix potential security issues or view settings in Basic or Advanced modes.
* New! Built-in McAfee QuickClean technology helps optimize your computer performance, eliminating drive-clogging "Internet build-up" (e.g., temp files, cached files, file remnants, Active X code), unused programs and other unnecessary clutter to free up valuable disk space.
* New! Network Map shows the security status of your home network.
