McAfee Stinger Free is a standalone utility used to detect and remove particular viruses.
It shouldn’t be an alternative to full anti-virus protection, but a specialized tool to help administrators and users when dealing with infected systems.
McAfee Stinger now includes Real Protect. It is a real-time conduct detection technology that monitors suspicious activity on an endpoint.
Real Protect leverages machine learning and automatic behavioral-based classification within the cloud to detect zero-day malware in real-time.
This McAfee tool makes use of next-generation scan engine technology. That includes process scanning, digitally signed .DAT files, and scan performance optimizations. It detects and removes threats recognized under the “List Viruses” icon within the application software.
