Abstract

McAfee commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the effectiveness of its McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint security software offering that provides comprehensive security to protect against viruses, spyware, hackers and other threats.

The Tolly Group conducted a hands-on evaluation of the “on-access” detection accuracy and compared McAfee Total Protection with other anti-malware solutions for Windows XP: Trend Micro OfficeScan Client/Server Edition 8.0, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Kaspersky Business Space Security 7.0. Tests focused on measuring the detection accuracy rate and speed of “on-access” file scanning.

Tests were conducted in June 2008.
