McAfee VShield Technology used by McAfee AntiVirus

McAfee AntiVirus has an excellent feature known as McAfee VShield. This particular facet of the virus software provides on-the-fly scanner functionality for the virus protection suite. McAfee hit the nail on the head with this feature, giving users of their antivirus software protection package completely transparent protection from viruses and other malware that can be found on the net.

This feature is unlike directory scanning (sometimes called on demand scanning) which is a software protection feature of most virus software that allows the end user to scan directories and files by right clicking the file or directory and using the scanner to scan the software within for viruses. VShield is constantly scanning in the background, offering round the clock virus protection for your computer no matter what you are doing with it.

This is excellent for users who are concerned that they will not know how to use McAfee virus software properly because all they have to do is "set and forget" this virus protection and they will be fully covered with full software protection from viruses. This, coupled with the fact that the new virus definitions are downloaded on nearly weekly basis, makes the McAfee package a great virus scanner with excellent features for an antivirus.

Speaking of definitions, they come out about once a week and your software protection is updated as often as the new definitions come out. The McAfee software checks every few days to make sure your definitions are up to date, and if they are not, the virus software will download the most recent copy of the virus definitions that it finds on the McAfee server. This ensures that you have the most recent definitions for your McAfee virus protection software.

If you need to have the best software protection, at an excellent price point and constantly updated virus definitions and heuristic software protection from the latest (undiscovered) viruses, you should look into the McAfee virus protection solution.
