Description of McAfee FreeScan

Detect viruses on your computer with this free tool, based on McAfee's VirusScan engine. FreeScan searches for viruses, including the latest known "in the wild" viruses, and displays a detailed list of any infected files. Should viruses be found, FreeScan links to information about the virus and tells you what you can do to clean your system.

FreeScan uses ActiveX components to initiate scanning. The first time you access FreeScan, the required ActiveX components are downloaded to your computer. The user interface is an HTML page.

  Strengths: Seriously? not much. It does do some stuff.. but it's just a teaser for its pay product, which isn't actually all that much better.

  Weaknesses: Not good, lowest-rated antivirus known to man, missed several trojans and viruses.

  Overall Evaluation: Just because it's free doesn't mean it's good. go check out one of the AVs starting with the letter A instead.
