McAfee, USRobotics to enhance security

NEW DELHI: McAfee Inc. has tied-up with USRobotics, an Internet access and networking company, to offer comprehensive Internet security package with modems to users in the US and Canada.

USRobotics will include a free, 60-day trial of McAfee Internet Security Suite with every modem it ships in North America, enabling consumers to better protect themselves against the multitude of threats on the Internet.

"This partnership between McAfee and USRobotics ensures that consumers will have the most comprehensive security package available with their modems," said Todd Gebhart, senior vice president, Consumer and Mobile Business, McAfee. "At a time when there are more dangers in cyberspace than ever before, and users are more dependent on technology than ever before, it is critical that consumers can get the level of protection they need very easily."

"Educating our modem users about the growing risks involved with Internet surfing and online communication is a constant challenge," says Frank Sugino, senior product manager, USRobotics. "Therefore, we are making it easier for them to stay protected by providing them with a hands-on trial of the McAfee Internet Security Suite."

McAfee Internet Security Suite is a comprehensive security solution that safeguards against viruses, spyware, hackers, and other malicious activity that may result in identity theft and other damage to consumer's digital possessions, including permanent loss of irreplaceable documents and files, such as digital photos and personal financial data.
