To increase your PC security while you surf, its new feature, McAfee SiteAdvisors provides safety ratings for each website you visit. So it will let you know if the site you're on is potentially unsafe.

Another great feature McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008 has includes giving regular updates about the latest software from McAfees security service, so your protection also remains up-to-date and ready to hold off the multi-pronged attacks.

On top of that, you can now add and manage security for more than one PC in your home with this new McAfee.

Although, McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008 comes with variety of new features, it still has a few drawbacks. These drawbacks include not being novice-friendly when it comes to installation and failing to provide hourly updates for new software.

Out of approximately 400 product reviewers, McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008 received an average rating of 3 out of 5 making this product satisfactory.

Many Internet users are unaware that most anti-virus programs quickly become out of date as new and more sophisticated viruses enter the world of cyber-space everyday.

Anti-virus software must be consistently updated in order to remain effective. In some cases it is necessary to buy an entirely new program to help keep your computer virus free.

Most anti-virus programs allow you to update the original program by downloading the newest and most recent updates to their virus protection system. These updates can then provide protection for your computer against new strands of viruses waiting to infect your computer.
