Getting Started with McAfee VirusScan Home Edition
Using VirusScan With a Wireless Device
Introduction
As the demand for wireless devices continue to grow, it carries with it, the threat of compromising your data against viruses especially whenever you exchange information between your PC and your wireless device.
Wireless devices that are currently available in the market today are primarily designed as a more convenient alternative in storing and retrieving information such as personal activities, people’s addresses, telephone numbers, appointments, expenses, etc. Either at work or at home, you can easily keep track of records in all of these areas by simply using your wireless device. You can even set an alarm to alert you of important meetings, events or tasks to do during the day, week or month.
How VirusScan protects your wireless device
McAfee VirusScan is an application designed to protect your data by scanning the files on your wireless device every time a data exchange or update is performed with your computer. It protects your system from viruses that may have been placed on your wireless device during the use of features such as infrared transfers and wireless transactions.
