partnership with Acer Inc. to provide McAfee Internet Security Suite with
SiteAdvisor(TM) for Acer's consumer customers. Acer computers will ship

McAfee Consumer, Mobile and Small Business. "One recent study showed that a

delivering proactive security protection at the time of purchase, Acer
customers can use their PCs and search and surf with confidence, even
getting advanced warning about Web sites that they should not visit-a level
of protection not offered from any other vendor."
