What customers are saying about the e500

"It was a proactive measure to update and protect all of our servers with McAfee's WebShield e500 appliance, which proved to be a positive move on our part in the wake of the Bugbear virus," said Rick Corl, director of technology at Marysville Joint Unified School District. "Our networks were 100% protected during the Bugbear virus outbreak and we have yet to experience any down-time due to virus breaches since the installation of WebShield e500, and have found that WebShield blocks as many as 50 viruses on a daily basis."

"BugBear is a non-event for us, we are protected by McAfee's managed services with VirusScan ASaP and the WebShield 500 appliance. We have seen no occurrences of this virus."

"McAfee's WebShield e500 is ideal for our environment, scanning for viruses in our Internet traffic at the network perimeter. With the e500 appliance, we can avoid future threats like the Code Red and SirCam viruses, which will help keep our productivity at its peak."

"We chose McAfee because we feel it's the undisputed world leader in the field of anti-virus security. We're proud to be the first company in Canada to offer our clients an anti-virus technology of this caliber. There's no doubt that the increasing proliferation of viruses on the Internet will make security as great a concern as speed when choosing a service provider. In the future, InfoTeck Internet subscribers will be assured peace of mind, since their computer systems will be protected from the threat of email-borne viruses by the WebShield e500 Appliance."

—Sylvain Juteau, CEO InfoTeck Internet

"McAfee's WebShield e500 appliance is exactly what we have been looking for. We were specifically looking for an integrated anti-virus solution that could protect our Internet Gateway from viruses, and in the WebShield e500 we found just that. The additional bonus for us is that the WebShield e500 offers a full range of content filtering, anti-spam and URL blocking."

—Nathan Foster, Technology Director New Boston Independent School District

"The McAfee e500 appliance will be our frontline of defense against future viruses like the Code Red. Implementing the McAfee solution at our firewall will add redundancy to our virus protection and help us secure Internet traffic.
