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.
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.
This section provides an overview of the product and its features.
