McAfee virusscan

Real-Time Virus Protection. McAfee Keep your PC safe.

"...faster to install, easier to configure, and less of a resource hog than Symantec's Norton AntiVirus 2004."    -CNET review, 9/2003 

Viruses never stop. Every day it seems like there's a new version of Mydoom, Netsky or Sober. These fast-spreading mass-mailing worms easily infect exposed PCs, forward themselves to your email contacts and even help remote hackers hijack personal information.
That's why McAfee VirusScan trusted by millions worldwide automatically scans your email, attachments and downloads, then immediately starts to clean infections. Easy to download, install and use, McAfee VirusScan also automatically checks for virus updates (included FREE with your one-year coverage) whenever you go online, so your protection stays up-to-date against the latest Internet threats.

No wonder in Smart Computing's latest anti-virus round-up, McAfee VirusScan came out No. 1 beating competing anti-virus products from Norton, Trend and others.
