McAfee Releases New Wireless Home Network Security Suites for Consumers

McAfee, Inc.,
(NYSE: MFE) the global leader in Intrusion Prevention and Security Risk
Management, today announced two new suites, McAfee(R) Internet Security
Suite -- Wireless Network Edition and McAfee(R) Wireless Home Network Security
Suite. Both include comprehensive security solutions that protect PCs as well
as wireless networks. They are now available for download at http://www.mcafee.com
as well as for purchase in major retailers in the U.S.
"These three end-user suites make it easy for families to easily and
cost-effectively set up security for their family PCs and wireless networks
-- and they are loaded with features that provide superior protection," said
Stu Elefant, Senior Product Manager for Wireless and New Initiatives for
McAfee Consumer. "We're pleased to be the first security software company
that can protect a family's wireless network, the data that they transmit over
Wi-Fi(R), and the PCs themselves with a choice of either of our easy-to-use
suites. This is a great value for families who want the best protection on
the market without any hassles."
Both suites include McAfee's Wireless Home Network Security 2006 which
offers easy-to-use tools that make it fast and easy to secure consumers' home
networks. Strong encryption keys are automatically generated to secure data
sent over a Wi-Fi network and they are automatically and continually rotating
behind-the-scenes. With one click, consumers can grant access to their secure
wireless networks to a family member, friend, or small business computer.
McAfee Wireless Home Network Security is compatible with most of today's
popular wireless routers such as those made by Linksys(R), NETGEAR(R),
D-Link(R), and Belkin(R) models. For a complete list, access

With wireless network protection, consumers are protected against data
theft of personal or sensitive documents, and attacks from hackers who may
attempt to install unwanted programs such as spyware, Trojans, dialers, or
keyloggers onto their home networks.
The McAfee Internet Security Suite -- Wireless Network Edition 2006 is the
most comprehensive consumer security solution on the market. It helps prevent
viruses, spyware, and hackers, and includes new "phishing" protection which
notifies consumers when they are the most vulnerable-at the point they are
about to visit a known or suspected phishing Web site. Automated, daily
updates download seamlessly in the background to keep PCs protected from
recently discovered virus and spyware threats. The automatic spyware
detection and virus protection that forms the core of the McAfee Internet
Security Suite, McAfee VirusScan(R), has been awarded PC Magazine's "Editors'
Choice" award. With the addition of wireless home network security, consumers
have a complete end-to-end solution.
The other new security suite, McAfee Wireless Home Network Security,
offers the same protection for wireless home networks, and includes PC
protection with McAfee VirusScan and McAfee Personal Firewall Plus. VirusScan
detects, blocks, and removes viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, and dialers,
automatically scanning files, e-mail attachments, Internet downloads, and
instant messaging attachments. With automated, daily updates, VirusScan's
always-on protection helps protect important digital files and personal
information to prevent identity theft. McAfee Personal Firewall Plus
continuously monitors broadband, dial-up, or wireless Internet connections,
preventing unwanted traffic to and from the PC.

Value Pricing: Both suites provide a great value for families. A
three-user license of McAfee Internet Security Suite -- Wireless Edition 2006
is available for a retail price of $149.99. A three-user license of the McAfee
Wireless Home Network Security Suite is available for $99.99.

Support: Unlimited free support is available 24/7 from http://www.McAfeehelp.com
