Data Sheet
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise
Protect your desktop and fi le servers from malicious threats
Keeping networks free from a wide range of
threats—viruses, worms, rootkits, and Trojans—
is more challenging than ever. Whether you are
a global enterprise or a small or medium-sized
business that has a full-time security staff, McAfee
®
VirusScan
®
Enterprise ensures that your endpoint
servers, desktops, and laptops remain malware free.
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise proactively stops and removes
threats, extends coverage for new security risks, and
reduces the cost of managing outbreak responses. And even
without an update, it stops zero-day threats and mitigates
the window of vulnerability—the time between when a
vulnerability is discovered and when fi xes are deployed.
Plus, with VirusScan Enterprise, you have the fl exibility to
detect and block malware based on your business needs: on
access, on demand, or on a schedule.
Unbeatable Malware Detection and Cleaning
VirusScan Enterprise uses the award-winning McAfee
scanning engine to detect and clean malware, and to
protect your fi les from viruses, worms, rootkits, Trojans, and
other threats. McAfee delivers comprehensive fi nd-and-fi x
solutions for today’s threats and uses behavioral analysis to
protect against new unknown threats.
Protect your systems with VirusScan Enterprise’s advanced
behavioral techniques. With port blocking, fi le-name
blocking, folder/directory lockdown, share lockdown, and
infection trace and block, you can stop many new and
unknown malware fi les cold.
Proactive Protection from Attacks
VirusScan Enterprise is the industry’s fi rst anti-malware
software that offers intrusion prevention with application-
specifi c buffer-overfl ow technology. Now you can protect
your users proactively against buffer-overfl ow exploits
that target vulnerabilities in Microsoft
®
applications. And
enjoy a more robust and advanced level of endpoint system
security by integrating your anti-malware technology with
intrusion prevention. With VirusScan Enterprise, your
critical servers and data are kept intact and available for
business. For added protection, we lock down VirusScan
Enterprise fi les and services so that malicious threats and
attacks don’t disable them.
Potentially Unwanted Programs
Potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) include adware,
spyware, and keyloggers. You need to protect against PUPs
to maintain tight security and to protect sensitive company
assets. You can easily integrate McAfee AntiSpyware
Enterprise as a plug-in to VirusScan Enterprise to address
today’s complex virus and spyware threats. When you
do, you leverage the proactive technology of VirusScan
Enterprise to provide superior PUP protection.
Manage Your Security
Centralized management and enforcement is the key to
effective and effi cient protection. VirusScan Enterprise
easily integrates with McAfee’s system security
management console, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
®
(ePO
™
).
ePO provides centralized deployment, policy confi guration
and enforcement, and detailed reporting of VirusScan
Enterprise, as well as many other McAfee security products.
Easily Manage Quarantined Files
Confi gure policies to manage quarantined items easily with
the Quarantine Policy Manager. Before an on-access or
on-demand scan cleans or deletes a fi le, it creates a backup
copy of the original fi le and registry value in the quarantine
directory. This improves your remediation capabilities in case
a fi le is accidentally marked as malicious and is quarantined.
Enhanced Email Scanning
VirusScan Enterprise includes the ability to scan Lotus
Notes email on client systems. It scans all Lotus Notes
client email (HTML text and attachments) that comes to
the desktop. Only a single confi guration panel is needed,
regardless of the email client in use. And, if you have a
mixed environment, VirusScan Enterprise supports users
who are using both Outlook and Lotus Notes.
