McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i RC
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i RC Review
In a client server scenario, importance must be given to both the server and the clients attached to the server. Information that is passed between the clients and servers must be continuously monitored for possible threats. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise antivirus program puts this issue to rest by keeping viruses and other threats at bay by using the combined features of intrusion prevention and robust firewall technology.
Some of the features present in this tool include:
Effective detection of all viruses from within the deepest layers of the system including those hidden in compressed files and root kits hidden in the memory files. Any threat that writes to the memory (for example, CodeRed and SQLSlammer) is immediately detected and removed. Self protection via access protection tools enables the antivirus files to remain unchanged.
All JavaScripts and Visual Basic codes are protected from threats which might otherwise stop these processes. Threats that specifically target Microsoft applications including the OS, Microsoft Office components and SQL server are also detected and removed with minimal or 0% damage to these files. Viruses pertaining to emails and attachments in Outlook and Lotus Notes are also effectively removed. Even if there is an outbreak, prevention measures are taken immediately by closing all the ports and blocking all the files and directories. At the same time, intensive monitoring of all the files, applications and internet traffic is undertaken to find the source of infection and curb it.
Advanced heuristics and generic detection techniques enable the tool to be aware of the latest threats. Even if the connection if terminated, the update is resumed from the point of interruption after the connection is re established.
