McAfee Total Protection Beta

Mcafee doesn't sell VirusScan alone (for Home Users). Its only available as VirusScan Plus with firewall.

Yes, Mcafee incorporates all technology they have created or bought. From Help>About screen, I see no other copyright holder except McAfee.

 

Hi

How do they still know you are present?

Thanks

 

Because if you were not there, they'd get a reply from the previous router telling them you are not there.

 

Thanks for the answer. Does this apply for a stealthed computer or a closed computer or both?

Thanks

 

Maybe read the linked debate more carefully.

 

I read the whole thing. I think I get it better now. But what's the difference between dropping inbound packets (stealth) and rejecting inbound packets (closed)?
I know you said

But what happens when inbound packets are rejected? So does it also tell the attacker that there's a firewall, and not hide the existence of a computer?

Thanks!

 

The only way to hide the existence of a computer is to physically disconnect it from network. Everything else is explained on the other thread, I'm not going to go in the circles again.

 

Just got news from McAfee Forum, that 2009 version has been given limited release.

So did any lucky auzzie here, get the upgrade ?

 

Is it only for Total Protection, or also Virusscan Plus 2009 ?

 

I think its for 2009 range. But the Post in the forum is not all that clear.

 

Can you tell me where I can locate it, please ?

Is it a beta or final release ?
