Using Mcafee Securitycenter - Gateway MX6650 - Pentium M 1.86 GHz User Manual

Using McAfee SecurityCenter

Your new Gateway computer 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 computer 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 computer 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.
