What is McAfee AntiVirus Plus

McAfee AntiVirus Plus is a virus protection program that protects computers from spyware, trojans, viruses, and other harmful items. It works to protect your computer without slowing down your computers performance.

McAfee AntiVirus Plus is available for Windows computers running XP, Vista, 7, and 8. The newest version has a completely new interface that is different from all other virus protection software. The new look includes an clean design that allows you to see the protection status of your computer quickly. It is very easy to use, but it may time some time to get used to the new look. The software will protect your computer from Internet downloads and removable devices.

McAfee AntiVirus Plus offers three different scan types including a quick scan, full scan, and custom scan. The quick scan will detect most of the compromised files on your computer and eliminates the need for most full scans. You can also choose if you want the software to scan your computer in real-time or to set up automatic scans to detect threats at a certain time or day of the week.

Besides working as an antivirus software, McAfee AntiVirus Plus also comes with website protection, emails, a firewall, a shredder to protect personal data by fully deleting the file, and a file defragmenter. The file defragmenter will clear unnecessary files from your computer to make more space on your hard drive and make your computer run faster.

You will also know which sites are safe to visit with the McAfee SiteAdvisor. A red, yellow, or green safety rating will show you if the website you are visiting is safe from threats so you can prevent future attacks on your Windows computer.
