Why do I need McAfee AntiVirus Plus?
The digital age and online risk
We are becoming increasingly dependent on the Internet as a tool for business and pleasure, and as technology advances we are downloading more programs, music and games than ever before. With this greater dependence on the Internet comes an element of risk. Cyber-crime is more sophisticated today than before, and the higher volume of potential victims gives them a greater chance of success. Don’t let one of them be you.
Viruses are spread by email, through portable USB devices, downloadable files and instant messaging. They spread through your system, changing settings, sending emails from your address book and even reformatting your hard drive.
One of the biggest dangers today is the increase in sophisticated Spyware viruses. These quietly install themselves on your computer and begin looking for personal information that will be useful to cyber criminals. Passwords, account details, internet browsing activity, all of this personal information is at risk of being stolen if you do not protect yourself.
Not all viruses cause such serious damage, but they can slow your computer down and cause a great deal of inconvenience.
McAfee’s AntiVirus Plus has been developed to provide maximum security for your PC. Using their unrivalled expertise McAfee have developed scanning technology and email monitoring systems. Antivirus software keeps your computer safe from the constantly changing threats associated with the Internet.
Key features of McAfee AntiVirus +
McAfee VirusScan Plus has three main features and a number of additional benefits. Its main purpose is to stop and clean out viruses, block and remove spyware from your PC and conceal your computer from hackers.
In addition to this, McAfee VirusScan Plus also monitors your Internet activity, warns you about sites which send spam, and updates itself daily, ensuring you have the most up-to-the-minute protection. As it stays on at all times, viruses are constantly monitored and therefore removed or blocked before they can do any damage to your system.
