Maximize the Learning Experience
With so much to teach and learn every day, security threats such as viruses, blended threats, and spam can consume vast amounts of time and resources. McAfee offers educational institutions a preventative strategy for threat protection—integrated protection at strategic points on the network, including gateway, desktop, and servers.
Proactive threat protection is critical prior to a virus attack. When threats do strike, it helps IT security managers quickly close the window of vulnerability—the period of time when threats can do the greatest damage. Proactive threat protection is available to assist schools and universities with a wide range of McAfee products, including complementary sniffer solutions for managing the security of wireless networks and devices.

McAfee VirusScan 8.0i
McAfee® VirusScan® 8.0i is an innovative technology for PCs and servers. It proactively stops and removes malicious software, extends coverage against new security risks, and reduces the cost of responding to outbreaks. Companies cannot afford to wait for every threat to be identified and a signature file released. The time between attack and subsequent identification is critical—the shorter, the better. It is even better yet if your protection technology identifies new, as-yet-undiscovered threats. By blending advanced anti-virus, firewall, and intrusion prevention technologies, VirusScan 8.0i covers a broad range of threats. With advanced heuristics and generic detection, it finds even new, emerging viruses, even when they are hidden in compressed files. VirusScan looks for exploits known to target Microsoft® applications and services, and will identify and block threats that take advantage of JavaScript™ and VisualBasic coding. And since virus protection is only as good as its latest update, the VirusScan database is updated daily with information from McAfee® AVERT® Labs, the world's top threat research center. more
