The McAfee Common Agent is the key to remotely managing products. Installed on
each computer, it deploys products, updates virus definition (DAT) files and the
virus-scanning engine, upgrades existing products with service pack and patch
releases. It also gathers data about installed anti-virus products, the computer, and
infection and system activity. In addition, it ensures that requests from the server are
executed and re-executed or enforced as needed. For example, if a user removes the
anti-virus product you have defined for the computer, the agent will reinstall the
product automatically.
