McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE), the world’s largest dedicated security
company, today announced its 2011 retail editions of McAfee Total
Protection™, McAfee® Internet Security and McAfee® AntiVirus Plus
software will begin to roll out in retail stores globally. McAfee
retail 2011 products feature significant product enhancements, many
of which were announced in the consumer upgrade in February 2010,
that are the fastest, lightest and most effective consumer security
products in the company’s history, and have been praised by
reviewers around the world.
The 2011 retail product update further supports the McAfee
strategy helping consumers to live securely—on the PC and mobile
devices they use, on the Web and off, and through protection for
the content they create and share.
In addition to availability in stores and online at McAfee.com,
McAfee consumer products are offered through an extensive network
of global partners which include banks and financial institutions,
ISPs, computer manufacturers, social networks such as Facebook, and
leading e-tailers.
Highlights of the McAfee 2011 retail versions
include:
Expanded threat protection. Powered by McAfee® Global
Threat Intelligence™, McAfee was repeatedly ranked the leading
vendor in threat detection in 20091, and earned a Gold Award from
NSS Labs for 100% perfect attack detection rates2. Newly introduced
levels of protection include Web download protection, which scans
downloads to warn about threats before they reach the hard drive,
and URL reputation ratings, which alert consumers about individual
Web pages and IP addresses that may have been recently
compromised.
In addition, McAfee continues to innovate in the area of threat
detection and remediation. McAfee recently announced state of the
art threat detection and protection by harnessing the power of the
cloud and McAfee security software installed on millions of PCs.
McAfee Labs researchers can now proactively search for new
cyberthreats by using the millions of computers running McAfee
software as the discovery beacon. As a result, McAfee Labs
researchers can now create more advanced countermeasures that go
well beyond the traditional malware fingerprints. To read more,
please access the press release.

consumer products for 2011 features 325% faster scans3 and updates
are only initiated when the computer is idle. The products also
boast the fastest installation to date.

alike.
