Viruses Still Cost: Virus attacks (ahead of hackers, spyware
and other threats) were again the source of the greatest
financial losses, accounting for 32% of the overall losses
reported.*
============================================================
Are you being protected by our improved anti-virus engine?
To help detect, quarantine and block evolving threats,
McAfee VirusScan(r) now features:
o New! Spyware blocking on access -- helps stop
potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) like key-loggers
and Web dialers -- which can rob personally identifiable
information or redirect your surfing -- before they try
to install or launch on your system.
o New! Daily virus definition updates (DATs) -- they
download faster, smaller and timelier anti-virus
protection, critical during virus outbreaks.
o New! Inline file cleaning -- speeds virus disinfection
of compromised programs with less interruption to your
work.

firewall protection up and running fast without slowing
your work.

PUPs Getting Worse: 12% increase in the number of new

For your protection against this increasing tide of
privacy and PC performance threats, we've upgraded
McAfee AntiSpyware with:

monitoring cookies, which can report your surfing habits
and additional personal information for online advertisers
and other third parties.
o New! System monitors -- pro-actively alert you if
malicious programs attack start-up programs, browser
settings, registry settings or your host file, helping
root out potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) before they
compromise your privacy.
o New! Anti-browser hijack prevention -- lets you restore
browser settings, home pages, ActiveX settings, security
settings, toolbars and trusted sites with a single click.

estimates that 75 million to 150 million Phishing e-mails
are sent every day on the Internet.*
============================================================
Make sure your anti-spam protection can keep up with this
growing identity theft tactic. For your security, we've
given McAfee SpamKiller(r):
o New! Anti-Phishing Internet Explorer plug-in -- helps
prevent identity theft by alerting you if you are being
directed to a known or potentially fraudulent website
where online thieves hope to trick you into divulging
confidential information like passwords and credit card
numbers.
o New! Improved anti-spam engine -- uses advanced
meta-character filtering and "junk text" identification
to block more incoming spam, like text disguised with
wildcard characters (e.g., Viag*ra).
o New! Streamlined set-up and configuration -- automatically
detects, installs and merges new protection for all email
accounts guarded by SpamKiller, saving time and guesswork.

Technical Note: SpamKiller supports MSN/Hotmail, POP3 and
MAPI email accounts, but currently does not filter AOL,
Yahoo! or other Web-based email. Most Internet email
systems use POP3 accounts. By directly supporting multiple
client-based email applications (Outlook Express, Eudora,
Netscape etc.) and Web-based email clients (MSN/Hotmail),
SpamKiller enables you to benefit from its advanced
filtering without forcing you to change how you access
and read your email.
