McAfee on Monday debuted technology called Artemis that will provide a hosted way of dealing with computers hit by malicious code.
When a suspicious file is detected on a computer protected by a McAfee product containing Artemis, the Artemis technology connects to McAfee servers in real time to determine whether the file is malicious or not. This check happens in seconds without any material impact on the user’s experience.
Hosted in a compute cloud by the vendor’s Avert Labs, Artemis is immediately available as part of McAfee Total Protection Service for small and medium-sized businesses and will be available later this month for McAfee VirusScan Enterprise and McAfee’s consumer products.
