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.
