McAfee Total Protection Service Product Guide
Terminal server support
Total Protection Service supports updates for terminal servers and the Windows fast user
switching feature in most scenarios, with these limitations:
• When an update occurs on a terminal server, one session is designated as the primary
update session for restrictions that apply to automatic updates.
• For all user sessions, the Total Protection Service icon is removed from the system tray
during the installation or update. The icon is restarted only for the user logged on to the
primary update session. All user sessions are protected, and other users can manually
redisplay their icons by clicking
Start | Programs | McAfee | Managed Services |
Total Protection Service
.
• Detection notifications are not displayed on the desktop of all computer users if the fast
user switching feature is enabled.
Specifying when computers check for updates
For virus and spyware scans to detect all the latest threats, the detection definition (DAT) files
must be kept up-to-date. DAT files are updated by McAfee Avert Labs whenever new threats
are discovered.
Use this task to select how often client computers check for updates to software components
and DAT files. By default, they check every 12 hours.
