Overview
McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise Module is a software program developed by McAfee. The most common release is 8.7.0.129, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named Mcshield.exe. The setup package generally installs about 86 files and is usually about 200.68 MB (210,430,967 bytes). The installed file mcupdate.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows XP. While about 47% of users of McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise Module come from the United States, it is also popular in India and Canada.
