Used in conjunction with McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator®, Active VirusScan provides you with single-console management and reporting. This product scans downloads from e-mail, FTP servers, and Web sites. It detects and protects against threats before they enter your system. McAfee® VirusScan® ’s NetShield® specifically protects NetWare file servers.
The proven anti-virus technology blends heuristics and generic information to identify both known and as yet undiscovered viruses and protects against exploits known to target Microsoft applications and OS services.
