VirusSacn for Windows 95 V3.0

100% Detection* in Key Tests


Native Windows 95 Explorer Interface for Point and Click Scanning!

More than 200 new viruses are introduced each month, damaging data and productivity. These viruses are unintentionally sent by trusted employees and friends from disks, networks, bulletin boards, e-mail and the Internet. McAfee's world proven solutions are used by over 25 million people, 80% of the Fortune 1000 and more than 40,000 organizations worldwide. Why have millions chosen McAfee VirusScan for their security? VirusScan offers superior virus detection, removal and customer service.

In order to cure a virus, a vendor must receive a sample of the infector. According to IDC, McAfee has 68% of the worldwide unit marketshare for standalone anti-virus software (DOS, Windows and OS/2). Millions of individual and corporate customers, agents in over 65 countries and researchers on three continents enable us to analyze more viruses first, and produce cures quickly. This tremendous installed user base provides McAfee more opportunity to raise quality and detection standards.
