Perform a Security Check
After completing the interview, you’ll want to find out how your PC may be
at risk. Security Check examines your PC for privacy and security problems
and then guides you through fixing any problem it finds. If you are using the
settings suggested by McAfee Internet Security in the interview, you only
need to run Security Check right after installation and then every month or so.
If you reduce the level of protection, you should run Security Check more
frequently.
You can also change the Security Check settings to customize how you want
this feature to work on your computer.
View Activity Log
McAfee Internet Security now provides a list of activities that an
Administrator can view via the Activity Logs feature. This list is generated
based on his preferred security and privacy settings for himself and for other
profiled users he created. Anything from dates and time that a user logged on,
to PC maintenance, and violation (e.g., a user attempting to pass a credit card
number) can be viewed at the single click of a button.
