The program will detect and identify any problems concerning a computer’s firewall protection, web security status, and anti-virus program.

The program also detects outdated/inactive security software and firewall. After completing a scan, the McAfee Security Scan Plus program will provide a detailed report showing the current status of the computer’s security protection. If the application detects problems, it will suggest the best possible security action.

The McAfee Security Scan Plus application features Quick Scan time. This feature scans the computer’s security system every time it needs to. Users also have the option to do this manually. This application also offers different scanning options. Scanning can be done weekly, daily, monthly, or manually. The McAfee Security Scan Plus requires Internet connectivity to check for updates.
