Ignoring Protection Problems - McAfee INTERNET SECURITY SUITE 2008 User Manual

Ignoring protection problems

If SecurityCenter detects a non-critical problem, you can either
fix or ignore it. Other non-critical problems (for example, if
Anti-Spam or Privacy Service are not installed) are automatically
ignored. Ignored problems are not shown in the protection
category information area on the SecurityCenter Home pane,
unless your computer's protection status is green. If you ignore a
problem, but later decide that you want it to appear in the
protection category information area even when your computer's
protection status is not green, you can show the ignored problem.
