McAfee Network Manager

Network Manager presents a graphical view of the computers

and other devices that make up your home network. You can use

Network Manager to remotely manage the protection status of

each managed computer in your network, and remotely fix

reported security vulnerabilities on those computers. If you've

installed McAfee Total Protection, Network Manager can also

monitor your network for Intruders (computers or devices that

you don't recognize or trust) that try to connect to it.

Before you use Network Manager, you can familiarize yourself

with some of the features. Details about configuring and using

these features are provided throughout the Network Manager

help.

Note:

SecurityCenter reports critical and non-critical protection

problems as soon as it detects them. If you need help diagnosing

your protection problems, you can run McAfee Virtual

Technician.
