Award-Winning Protection Made Better for 2007 During the past year, McAfee earned top marks like "Best of Year," "Editors' Choice" and "Smart Choice" for our flagship McAfee® VirusScan® and McAfee Internet Security Suite products. In August, building on this award-winning legacy, McAfee introduced all-new threat detection and removal technology for 2007. It comes folded inside a brand new SecurityCenter that offers breakthrough ease-of-use, security management and PC health. Meet the new product line-up: - McAfee® Total Protection™
- McAfee Internet Security Suite
- McAfee PC Protection Plus
- McAfee VirusScan Plus—AntiVirus, Firewall & AntiSpyware
- McAfee Wireless Protection
 New Security Focuses on Identity Theft Prevention As modern Internet threats typically mingle viruses, hacking and spyware, PC users need more than single, stand-alone solutions. That's why we added a secure firewall to our award-winning VirusScan product. The result is McAfee VirusScan Plus, 3-in-1 protection for email, downloads and Web browsing. Rob Vamosi, CNET, 09/06: "We like that McAfee has blended its various tools so that the overall product feels like a whole rather than like several stand-alone applications repackaged." Because online US users list identity theft as their top security concern today (Evans Research, Security Drivers Study, 06/06), we rebuilt our security products to address this fear. For example, part of the 8-in-1 protection in McAfee Internet Security Suite is new anti-Phishing detection, an anti-hacker Stealth Mode and anti-spyware tools like SiteAdvisor™ safe searching. They all work together as a single defense shield. Neil Rubenking, PC Magazine, 08/06: "I've never seen a security suite with as many distinct security tools... Antivirus is stellar... Good accuracy in spam protection... Simple design makes it easy to access huge set of features... Most features configured for full protection right out of the box..." Data preservation is important, too, as PC users build larger libraries of digital photos, music downloads and important records that can be lost to hackers, system failure and other catastrophes. So we added file back-up and restore to PC Protection Plus, Internet Security Suite and Total Protection. The latter adds wireless home network protection against "drive-by hijackers" and "Wi-Fi® freeloaders."  Re-built McAfee SecurityCenter Simplifies Control Common to all new McAfee solutions is an elegant, clutter-free SecurityCenter. It's a one-stop dashboard that monitors everything at a glance, using simple red, yellow and green alerts, one-click security fixes, easy-to-understand explanations, plus a host of extra tools like QuickClean, a Digital Shredder and convenient Network Manager. Of course there are scores of other security improvements and upgrades across the board. This is just a taste: - Up to 40% faster virus scanning and smaller virus definition updates help block more than 200,000 known threats with less interruption to computing.
- More accurate detection of spam, email fraud and credit card Phishing helps keep personal information away from attacking identity thieves.
- SystemGuards monitoring and X-Ray for Windows help detect and block secret identity theft attacks deep inside your operating system—essential while Microsoft keeps issuing monthly vulnerability bulletins.
