Landing in number seven is McAfee virus scan. Long been in the industry leader and computer protection virus scan is McAfee’s number one defense against viruses. This software comes with a scripts stopper and a worm stopper to prevent viruses from spreading from one computer to another. Virus scan does one of the best virus detection records. The software received both the VP 100% and the ICSA awards for 2007. West Coast labs have passed McAfee for both level one and two check marks, some down sides of the program are that during installation and after McAfee takes over many files and folders on your system that can enter effect performance of your machine. Our viewers have found that McAfee leaves a heavy footprint on your system resources and it is excessively intrusive on your activities. Virus scan is missing key features found in our top two products; it does not provide us instant message protection. Peer to peer vital sharing protection or start up registry protection. It also lacks the ability to add tasks to the scheduled scan. Check out our gold product if your are looking for this features. At number seven for top ten review anti virus is McAfee virus scan.
