AOL includes McAfee VirusScan and McAfee Firewall Express for its subscribers. Upon introduction, McAfee VirusScan was 8.0 and Firewall Express was 5.0. Initially, it was only available to subscribers using AOL 8.0 and 9.0 software; but has since become available to anyone using versions as old as 6.0.
In late-2005, AOL released the AOL Safety and Security Center, it was designed to be an all-in-one solution to security needs. It included McAfee powered virus protection, spyware, spam and phishing protection, plus parental controls and a firewall. The antivirus was offered free but only to users with an AOL e-mail address or an AOL My eAddress running Microsoft Windows XP.
In mid-2006, AOL began offering a new version of virus and trojan protection, called [[AOL Active Virus Shield]]. The software is not made by McAfee, but instead is made by Kaspersky Labs. This antivirus software is free, and does not require an AOL account, only an e-mail address. This software runs on Microsoft operating systems such as Windows 98, 2000, ME & XP.
