McAfee VirusScan Plus AOL Edition is available for those who have paid AOL accounts. Like other antivirus programs, it serves as protection against threats coming from various sources on the internet. Besides just blocking spyware, viruses, and other potential problems, the program also has a checkup feature that can assess how your computer is running and identify ways that you could make it run faster. If you have children, or if you just want to make sure that certain content is never displayed, you can make use of the parental controls that are included with the software.
The simple interface makes this an ideal product for computer users who want great protection without having to understand and adjust all of the settings that go into it. Running a scan requires just a few clicks, and concludes with a presentation of the potential threats on your system. You can then choose how you want the software to handle them. One drawback is that installation of this edition can be quite slow. Another potential problem for some users is that there are relatively few options for configuring your protection, so if you want the opportunity to do so, you may be better off choosing another antivirus program. Of course, such simplicity is a strength for others.
