McAfee has jazzed up its Web site with a new online portal designed to help users research a wide range of security problems. Called the McAfee Threat Center, the portal was launched Monday as part of a redesign of the McAfee.com Web site. In addition to virus information, the portal contains new information from the company's Avert Labs division on spam, phishing, and spyware as well as free tools and articles from McAfee security experts.
A security blog is expected to be started within the next few weeks, McAfee said. The new portal extends the scope of McAfee's Web resources, according to David Marcus, a security research and communications manger for McAfee Avert. "The focus of the site previously was really focused on viruses and malware," he said. "Now it's much more representative of all the areas we do in security research."
