McAfee VirusScan
Summary
Forrest Stroud

Summary

VirusScan 4 makes for a formidable opponent in the Virus Scanner category. The competition has continually strived to narrow the gap, with Norton AntiVirus and InoculateIT Personal Edition currently coming the closest to matching VirusScan's many benefits. Norton does so for its excellent scanning capabilities and rich set of features, while InoculateIT PE has a freeware price tag and continually updated virus definition files on its side. Despite these efforts, VirusScan remains arguably the best virus scanner in the industry.

Pros: Easy to use, VShield background scanning, advanced virus scanning engine

Cons: Virus definition updates require an annual subscription (first year is included in initial purchase)
