Introducing Total Protection Service - McAfee TSA00M005PAA - Total Protection Service Product Manual

Introducing Total Protection Service

Total Protection Service provides a "hands-off" solution to safeguard the computers on your
network automatically by keeping itself up-to-date and checking for threats contained in files
and programs, in email messages, in communications from inside and outside the network,
and on websites.
When you purchase a subscription to Total Protection Service, an account is created for you,
and you become the account administrator (referred to as the site administrator ). When
you install the Total Protection Service client software on computers, they are added to your
account. A weekly email alerts you to any problems detected for computers on your account.
NOTE: In some organizations, another person, such as a purchasing department
representative, purchases the subscription and then designates you to be the site
administrator.
For a more "hands-on" approach, use the SecurityCenter to view and manage computers
and detections on your network. Your service provider sends you a unique URL and login
credentials for your account, which you can use to access the SecurityCenter. This is a pre-
configured website that provides a simple-to-use management console for monitoring the
protection status of computers on your account. Use the SecurityCenter to view reports on
detections and activities and to configure security settings that address the specific needs of
your account.
