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.
Using McAfee SecurityCenter
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.
