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
