2. An Introduction to McAfee • An Introduction to McAfee.com/Activate McAfee has long been one of the pioneering companies in the computer security market and it continues to provide a wide range of products for both home and business users. McAfee provides products for Windows as well as many other operating systems and devices, including mobile phones, tablet computers, Apple devices and more.

See the following for a brief overview of McAfee`s main computer security products for home users. • McAfee Antivirus Plus McAfee Antivirus Plus is the entry level antivirus software provided by the company for home users who want to safeguard their online identity, surf the Internet and use their computers with confidence. It presents a wide range of features to make this possible and protects against all sorts of malicious software and potential security breaches whether you are using the Internet for online banking, shopping, social networking or a wide variety of other purposes. There are various licenses available for homes with different numbers of computers to protect. The software provides real-time protection against malicious software and hackers and allows you to access and modify all security settings through the cloud rather than the computer you are actually using at the time. The most recent 2013 edition provides spam blocking features, improved performance and simplified security management features.

3. How does McAfee Antivirus work? • Www.mcafee.com/Activate : McAfee Antivirus software works to block viruses from entering your computer system and kill or quarantine viruses that have some broken through the firewall. • To begin protecting your computer system, McAfee Antivirus software updates its virus database by using an automatic web crawler that scans the Internet and identifies malicious software by name, type and destructive capability. With that information, the software also scans for the way to delete the malicious software. • Once the scan is complete, the program is prepared to impede the entry of malware on a computer system or destroy it, if it is already on the system.
