McAfee®AntiSpyware protects your computer from potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) such as spyware, adware, dialers and other invasive programs. It detects, quarantines and removes unwelcome software before it can compromise your private information or identity, or adversely affects your PC's performance.

The advanced, proactive "auto-protect" McAfee AntiSpyware technology alerts you when potentially hostile applications attempt to install and run surreptitiously on your system. It blocks or uninstalls them before they can do any harm. Automatic, real-time updates keep McAfee AntiSpyware in pace with evolving threats, providing you with the most comprehensive protection possible. This layer of security extends essential anti-virus and firewall protection.
