“Stopping malware of all types is critical to our customers,” stated Vimal Solanki, senior director of product marketing. “Our award-winning antispyware technology is available as a standalone solution or integrated with McAfee VirusScan® Enterprise to provide maximum malware protection. McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise is also a component of McAfee’s Total Protection solutions. These products help make up the foundation of McAfee’s Security Risk Management strategy.

AntiSpyware Enterprise uses both behavioral-based methods and daily signature updates to find and block known and unknown spyware. The PUP database is maintained by McAfee Avert® Labs, the world’s leading threat research center.
