Topic: What is so good about McAfee VSE ?

[rochardgems]

VSE is very good especially with the new anti-spyware module...if money is no object, i suggest he install KAV5 as primary on-access then custom install VSE as on-demand only... that way he'll have the best of both worlds...Maybe he should just get a double-engine AV and get the issue done with!

I totally Agree with Samker,

MC AV with MC Firewall, as long as it's set up properly "Access Protection" then you should find that even if something does attack the system it cant write itself anywhere or is allowed to run. i.e dont allow things to run from the TEMP directory!!

If you have a program that needs a temp space to write too then set one up dedicated to that program I used to have to do this all the time, I even locked the Temp Directory down to the program's .EXE in the early days and this allowed me to catch a couple of inderviduals looking to try and tunell through the network by running Putty type tools e.t.c from that Temp directory.

This was all befor we locked down Peripherals e.t.c so now I dont have to worry so much. : ) But like Samker said is someone trying to circumvent your security measure's e.t.c you really need to probe this more.

Take Samker's advice lock your system down properly and you should be fine, For a little extra protection get you company to pay for the SPYWARE module thats available for MC VirusScan, I have used it on both 8.5 and 8.7 with moderate success.

Long and Short of it, Nothing is 100%, Take a continual pro-active approach to your networks security by testing out other products in a "Test" Enviroment Inc things like Malware bytes - Im sure you can get a corp version???

I just like it because it's light weight and non-invasive like their home products.  More importantly it works.

When I worked at a local Computer Service House we had tried almost every single AV product available then and MVSE topped them all - we got 10 to 20 infected computers a day from consumer and bussiness clients, most of them had tens of thousands infected items found and cleaned\deleted, McAfee VSE did the best job. However we had to use some anti-malware apps to further clean the systems afterwards. Have said, I would back McAfee with my 10 years expeirences in the IT field.

Yes, like what others said above I like that 'Access Protection' feature to prevent modifications to the system. But, my taste changed I no longer use McAfee VSE.

Nodoubt kaspersky is the best antivirus bitdefender,zonealarm,gdata are the other ones rest are just timepass so if you are purchasing go for these ones

No av is 100% secure as new threats keep on coming so you should use a security combination

a good internetsecurity
good antimalware cud be asquared or malwarebytes
link checkers like wot and norton safe web
and u can also use norton or sunbelt dns for added security
