Amazon.co.uk Review
With new viruses appearing in the wild on a daily basis your data is under constant attack and it is essential to get some protection. McAfee's VirusScan is one of the top anti-virus products and also includes the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption software and First Aid 2000 to help diagnose computer problems.

VirusScan runs under Windows 95 or 98 and conducts an interview during installation to help schedule regular scans, create a rescue boot disk set and use the new Safe and Sound utility which automatically backs up selected documents to a free area on the hard disk. VShield provides round-the-clock protection and monitors all files that are created, renamed, modified, copied or executed and blocks access to any it suspects are infected. Internet-borne viruses get a rough time as VShield scans all downloads and checks for hostile ActiveX controls and Java applets. Access to specific Web sites can be blocked using either a URL or IP address and the new X-Ray feature scans e-mail messages before they are even opened.

VirusScancan be scheduled to run at regular intervals and if a virus is detected it leads you gently through a clean-up process where you can opt to clean the infected file, quarantine it or delete it. The signature file can be easily kept up to date as McAfee AVERT Labs regularly posts new updates on its Web site. Viruses are a constant threat and there is no excuse for not protecting your PC--VirusScan slams the door shut in their faces. --Dave Mitchell

4 out of 5 stars A useful tool for all day online computers!   November 21, 2000
  21 out of 26 found this review helpful

Mcafee virusscan is a great useful tool for people who are online all day like myself. As we tend to be in more geoperdy for viruses because of the 24 hours contact with the internet, emails and attachments! This is a toll that will help you keep your peace of mind and i do recommend it for everyone, it is very easy to use and install and its benefits are far more useful than any other virusscan not to mention the great price on Amazon.
