DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS AND INTERNET SECURITY

by Prinkal Middha TricksTechTips

With the ever-rising internet threats, Mcafee decided to work on a new variant of Antivirus software and it is termed as internet security. Although, Mcafee Internet Security is now the standardized edition, yet there are few differences between the two.

Let's us discuss them:

1. Both the variants are supposed to give protection to the system offline and online. In internet security, great stress is laid upon offline protection to a higher extent.

2. Internet security can be called a part of antivirus, as its main function is to control all the online protection utilities like Anti-phishing tools, message protection tools, anti-spam, email protection and many more.

3. If you only take Antivirus into consideration, all the significant tools to protect the system offline are available here- real-time scan, system scan, firewall etc.

It can b concluded from the above 3 points, that both are almost the same thing. The only difference is the way you look at it. For the complete answer, you can say, when you talk about Mcafee Antivirus it means you are talking about offline protection. And when internet Security is topic of discussion that means you are focussing the offline security aspect of the application.
