Using McAfee SecurityCenter

Your new Gateway notebook may have the McAfee SecurityCenter installed. The
McAfee SecurityCenter includes the following components:
McAfee VirusScan is an anti-virus subscription service. You can use
■
VirusScan to protect your notebook from viruses, worms, Trojan horses,
and hybrid attacks.
McAfee Personal Firewall Plus blocks unwanted inbound and outbound
■
Internet traffic to prevent hacker attacks.
McAfee Privacy Service protects against online identity theft by blocking
■
the transmission of personally identifiable information. This service also
filters offensive online content (including pop-ups, ads, and web-bugs)
and monitors, controls, and logs where children surf.
McAfee Spamkiller prevents identified spam from reaching your e-mail
■
inbox and protects you against known Phishing scams.
You received your notebook with McAfee VirusScan, McAfee Personal Firewall,
and McAfee Spamkiller turned on and McAfee Privacy Service turned off. To turn
on the Privacy Service, as well as keep the other services turned on, you must
connect to the Internet and register McAfee SecurityCenter when prompted.
