CHAPTER 5: Protecting your notebook
62
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.
