The CA Anti-Virus package protects from viruses, worms and trojans which are a threat to the safety of your computer from any source, including emails and file downloads. CA provides a variety of packages created to maintain your computer’s safety whilst you use the Internet free of worry. The CA Anti-Virus package is specifically tailored to the threat of viruses which can cause irreversible damage.

The CA Anti-Virus key features include:

• support for up to 3 PCs;
• able to detect viruses, worms and Trojans;
• automatically scans emails;
• defends against any emerging viruses;
• protects files, downloads and attachments.

CA Anti-Virus works as a preventative measure against the threats to your computer. Scans can be run at any time, or can be scheduled at pre-selected times to work around your computer usage. The scans run in real time, protecting your computer when files are opened, closed or downloaded. The Advanced Heuristic Scanning can also help detect new threats that could damage your computer even before the new virus updates have been created and sent out.

CA Anti-Virus is also curative: any threat which is detected is sent to File Quarantine, a secure area where they can be dealt with without causing harm. The File Exclusion List helps to modify what is scanned, allowing you to exclude certain files and folders from scans as you see fit. When threats are detected, CA Anti-Virus’ Interactive Virus Detection Messages provides links to resources in the CA Virus Information centre.

CA Anti-Virus also has the benefit of being certified by Independent Testing Organisations including ISCA Labs, West Coast Labs, and Virus Bulletin as effective virus protection.

CA Anti-Virus can be used on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista, and for one year protection for up to 3 PCs can be purchased from £29.99/$39.99 via electronic download.
