Virus protection Real-time scanning scans files when they are accessed by you or your computer. Scan Search for viruses and other threats in hard drives, floppy disks, and individual files and folders. You can also right-click an item to scan it. Spyware and adware detection VirusScan identifies and removes spyware, adware, and other programs that can jeopardize your privacy and slow down your computer's performance. Automatic updates Automatic updates protect against the latest identified and unidentified computer threats. Fast background scanning Fast, unobtrusive scans identify and destroy viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, adware, dialers, and other threats without interrupting your work. Real-time security alerting Security alerts notify you about emergency virus outbreaks and security threats, and provide response options to remove, neutralize, or learn more about the threat. Detection and cleaning at multiple entry points VirusScan monitors and cleans at your computer’s key entry points: e-mail, instant message attachments, and Internet downloads. E-mail monitoring for worm-like activity WormStopper™ blocks Trojans from e-mailing worms to other computers, and prompts you before unknown e-mail programs send e-mail messages to other computers. Script monitoring for worm-like activity ScriptStopper™ blocks known, harmful scripts from running on your computer. McAfee X-ray for Windows McAfee X-ray detects and kills rootkits and other programs that hide from Windows. Buffer overflow protection Buffer overflow protection protects you from buffer overflows. Buffer overflows occur when suspect programs or processes try to store more data in a buffer (temporary data storage area) on your computer than its limit, corrupting or overwriting valid data in adjacent buffers. McAfee SystemGuards SystemGuards examine your computer for specific behaviors that can signal virus, spyware, or hacker activity. _________________________________________________ INSTALLATION NOTES After removing all McAfee programs including SecurityCenter, a file called MCINFO.EXE remains temporarily until an Internet connection is established. This file does not affect normal operations, or the installation, removal, or re-installation of McAfee programs. __________________________________________________ KNOWN ISSUES When using Windows 2000, opening a Telnet connection causes EMProxy to go to 100% CPU usage. When you close Telnet, EMProxy stays at 100% CPU usage and does not normalize. When upgrading to VirusScan 11, your previous settings are retained. If certain settings were disabled in older versions of VirusScan, the new McAfee SecurityCenter might report a protection problem. If this happens, open SecurityCenter and follow the prompts to fix or ignore any problems. Note that problems that cause a red status cannot be ignored. The View Log link works, but you have to click it twice. _____________________________________________________ CONFIGURING YOUR WEB BROWSER Scripting languages, such as JavaScript and VBScript, bring dynamic and interactive features to Web sites.
