Getting Started with McAfee Internet Security 5.0
n
For optimal protection by Identity Protector, include all dashes (such as
Social Security number, bank account numbers, brokerage accounts, and
ATM cards). For example, if you enter 123-45-6789 as your social security
number, McAfee Internet Security will recognize the number with or
without the dashes. If you enter 123456789, McAfee Internet Security
won’t alert you if the number is sent out with dashes (123-45-6789).
Credit cards do not need dashes because you type the numbers into
separate boxes.
How the McAfee Internet Security Administrator
Works
Since McAfee Internet Security now offers multi-user logon capabilities, this
feature allows one user to act as the administrator of personal information,
protection and security settings entered via the McAfee Internet Security
features. This is particularly useful if for example, you would want to filter,
block or monitor certain types of information that you do not want your
children to access when browsing the Internet.
Creating the McAfee Internet Security Administrator account can only be
done in the Interview feature of McAfee Internet Security. And only the
designated Administrator can access and change information and protection
settings of the computer.
After this setup is complete, the Administrator can add other users and set the
levels of security and protection for each user profile.
TIP
When adding user profiles, the Administrator can designate a user
as a Self-Administrator.
See the McAfee Internet Security online Help to view step-by-step instructions
on how to set an Administrator account.
Self-Administrating users
The McAfee Internet Security Administrator may designate another user as a
Self-Administrator. This feature may be used if for example, the user is an
adult and is deemed responsible enough to customize their privacy and
protection settings.
Self-administrating users cannot change the Privacy, Security, or User
Preferences settings for any other McAfee Internet Security user.
See the McAfee Internet Security online Help to view step-by-step instructions
on how to designate a user as a Self-Administrator.
