It
is estimated that 98 percent of personal computers connecting
to the Internet are infected with spyware or other types of
potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Spyware is any software
whose function includes the transmission of company or personal
information to a third party without their knowledge. The
consequences of undetected spyware can include identity theft,
system and network corruption, slower Internet access, reduced
system productivity and an increased number of pop-up ads.
The key to eliminating these risks is to quickly detect, proactively
block or safely eliminate potentially unwanted programs—before
they can execute their damaging activities.
Extended PUPs Support
PUPs are any piece of code, which a reasonably securityminded
company may want to be informed of, and in some cases remove.
PUPs can sometimes be made by a legitimate corporate entity
for some beneficial purpose, but alter the state of the computer
on which they are installed, or the security posture of the
computer's user. With a more complete removal of various PUPs,
company data, computer systems and identities are more secure.
McAfee® Anti-Spyware Enterprise increases the PUPs functionality
found within McAfee VirusScan® Enterprise and adds scanning
for PUPs registry entries and files—not just the executables—and
is able to remove these unwanted applications. This ensures
greater system
stability, performance and assists in blocking the reinstall.
Anti-Spyware for Business
McAfee Anti-Spyware
Enterprise is the industry’s first business/corporate-grade
anti-spyware software protection with best-in-class security
management. McAfee’s antispyware solution is designed
to meet the stringent and exacting requirements of your company’s
computer system security policy.
McAfee Anti-Spyware Enterprise utilises true On-Access scanning
and blocking to identify, proactively block and safely eliminate
potentially unwanted programs such as spyware; adware; key-loggers;
cookies; remote-control programs, including entries in the
Windows® Registry; and other areas where programs leave
remnants.
Scalable for businesses of any
size, McAfee Anti-Spyware Enterprise enhances the security
of your company’s computing experience by keeping your
computer systems free of unwanted programs that may be watching,
recording and externally transmitting sensitive company information.
McAfee Anti-Spyware Enterprise adds an essential layer of
protection against this growing threat to your company’s
security.
And it is part of the McAfee
Protection-in-Depth™ Strategy that provides security
from the edge of the network to PCs and servers. Protection-in-Depth
is a smarter, proven and more proactive way to detect, prevent
and minimise security risks. It provides unified, cost-effective,
multi-layered protection, enabling companies to defend data
throughout your organisation.
True On-Access Scanning
True On-Access scanning and blocking
helps defeat spyware before it can be installed on your company’s
computer system, rather than days or weeks later when it is
discovered by an On-Demand scan. Proactive detection and blocking
of PUPs installation means a higher return on investment and
lower total-cost-of-ownership.
