McAffee Virus Alert Website.

McAffee Virus Alert Website.



As an IT professional, it will be necessary to keep track of on going threats. For this blog I decided to look at the McAffee virus alert website. The site contains listings of recently discovered new malware programs. This includes virus, worms, fake virus, and trojans. It also has a listing for recently update virus. Each threat is ranked as to the relative danger. The site includes a general threat alert indicator, indicating the overall level of danger. Currently it is set to elevated. It also includes a world map showing the hot spots for virus attacks. The user can drill down to find more information on a specific threat, such as type of program, method of infection and indication of infection. This sight is useful to give a quick and ready overview of new dangers.
