AntiSpyware Enterprise (SPY)

Protect your business from all types of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) using the unique on-access scanning technology of McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise. Unlike other anti-spyware software that deals with spyware after the fact, AntiSpyware Enterprise catches it before it installs.

Using behavioral-based methods and daily registry-signature updates, AntiSpyware Enterprise finds and blocks both known and unknown spyware. Your AntiSpyware Enterprise PUP database is maintained by McAfee AVERT Labs, the world’s top threat research center. AntiSpyware Enterprise can integrate with McAfee VirusScan Enterprise to give you spyware and virus protection using a common scanning engine for easiest management and high system performance.

Key Features

• On-access scanning
  Detect and block spyware before it installs and spreads; scan processes and files running in memory to neutralize them before they take root; removing one process in memory is faster and than trying to remove dozens of installed applications
• Stop spyware and viruses efficiently
  You can stop both spyware and viruses by integrating AntiSpyware Enterprise with McAfee VirusScan Enterprise; they share a single scanning engine to reduce system overhead and increase system performance
• Scan for spyware in the registry and files
  It blocks annoying spyware reinstallation because AntiSpyware scans for both registry entries and files; by doing so, it removes top security threats and adware popups
