Data Sheet

McAfee VirusScan for Mac Although Macintosh® systems have been targeted less frequently than Windows®-based systems, they are not immune. With the number of threats growing almost daily, it is critical that you guard all of your assets—including Macintosh-based computers—from viruses and malicious code.

Leverage the award-winning McAfee® scan engine with McAfee VirusScan® for Mac,® which will allow you to proactively hunt down and kill Macintosh and Windows viruses, worms, Trojans, and other threats.

Users continue to work uninterrupted thanks to non-intrusive, effective protection. Trusted by educational institutions and businesses alike, McAfee VirusScan for Mac has more than 2 million users worldwide. Complete, Proactive Threat Protection McAfee VirusScan for Mac uses on-access scanning to search for viruses and malicious threats every time a file is accessed. It automatically detects viral infections as they attempt to infect a system and protects against Macintosh, PC, and UNIX viruses. In addition, it has the ability to scan Apple® Mail messages and attachments for malicious threats. It will also protect your users when they save or open files from network share drives. Protection from Tomorrow’s Threats McAfee VirusScan for Mac uses heuristic analysis and generic detection that proactively protects against new and previously unknown viruses. The advanced heuristic analysis looks through the code in a file to determine if the actions it takes are typical of a virus. The more virus-like code found, the more likely the file is to be infected. To reduce the risk of false alarms, our positive heuristics

approach is combined with negative heuristics, which searches for those things that are distinctly non-virus-like. Centralized Management McAfee VirusScan for Mac can be managed by McAfee’s ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™). ePO provides centralized deployment, policy configuration, and enforcement as well as detailed reporting for VirusScan for Mac clients.
