Security and Notebook PC's

Just got a new Toshiba Notebook PC. It came with a standard McAfee Security Center. It's a free trial version. Once this expires, is there a version of McAfee Virus Scan made especially for wireless connections and would it be necessary to get a "wireless" version?

 

Hi Ace,

I don't think so, in my reading, I've never run into "wireless" AV versions for McAfee or any other AV.

The connection type would be an issue for a firewall, and then would be a parameter setting.

Thanks Charles. Is ZoneAlarm Pro ok for wireless connections?

 

Hi Ace,

I've a neighbor that uses ZAP (v5.5.094.000) with a wireless laptop and it'll detect wireless when you specify the connection type in the initial setup.

Thanks again Charles. I've been a faithful user of ZA Pro with my Desktop but I never noticed a wireless setting.
