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. McAfee VirusScan supports most
types of wireless devices using Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows CE, and EPOC
operating systems (please refer to the following table).
