Fixing Protection Problems - McAfee MTP09EMB1RAA - Total Protection 2009 User Manual

Fixing protection problems

Most security problems can be fixed automatically; however,
some problems may require you to take action. For example, if
Firewall Protection is disabled, SecurityCenter can enable it
automatically; however, if Firewall Protection is not installed, you
must install it. The following table describes some other actions
that you might take when fixing protection problems manually:
Problem
A full scan of your computer has
not been performed in the last 30
days.
Your detection signature files
(DATs) are out-of-date.
A program is not installed.
A program is missing
components.
A program is not activated, and
cannot receive full protection.
Your subscription has expired.
Note: Often, a single protection problem affects more than one
protection category. In this case, fixing the problem in one
category clears it from all other protection categories.
Fix protection problems automatically
SecurityCenter can fix most protection problems automatically.
The configuration changes that SecurityCenter makes when
automatically fixing protection problems are not recorded in the
event log. For more information about events, see
(page 27).
