McAfee ha rilasciato la nuova versione di 'McAfee Privacy Service 2005', difesa internet dedicata alla protezione degli utenti domestici dall'esposizione di informazioni confidenziali a cyber-minacce, inclusi furti d'identità e "phishing".
La nuova versione include una maggiore protezione da tutte le minacce alla privacy e il blocco della pubblicità online, funzionalità attraverso le quali è più semplice bloccare la trasmissione di informazioni private e filtrare i contenuti non desiderati.
McAfee Privacy Service 2005 ora include anche McAfee Shredder, che funziona come un vero e proprio distruggi documenti digitale, aumentando la privacy dell'utente attraverso la rimozione delle copie digitali rimaste dopo la cancellazione dei file.
