SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc.
(NYSE: MFE) today announced that it has received a Checkmark Premium
Anti-Spam Certification for accurately detecting 98 percent of spam in
independent testing performed by West Coast Labs. The Checkmark

Thomas of West Coast Labs. "It provides informative and relevant
statistical information, and has the ability to generate comprehensive
reports in multiple formats, giving an abundance of information."
"Spam is no longer just a nuisance, and the ability to block it is
critical for IT security," said Vimal Solanki, senior director of product
marketing, McAfee, Inc. "Spam has become a new way for criminals to solicit
individual and company information, and a way to plant Trojans and other
malware onto user computers. To fight cybercrime, companies must tackle the
spam problem. We're honored to be recognized by West Coast Labs with their
highest level of anti-spam certification."
