xiv McAfee Internet Security 5.0

Welcome to McAfee Internet Security 5.0

The Internet provides a vast wealth of information and entertainment at your fingertips. Yet, as soon as you connect, your computer is exposed to a multitude of privacy and security threats. Protect your privacy and secure your computer and your data with McAfee Internet Security. Incorporating McAfee's award-winning technologies, McAfee Internet Security provides one of the most comprehensive sets of privacy and security tools you can buy. McAfee Internet Security destroys viruses, outwits hackers, secures your personal information, privatizes your Web browsing, blocks ads and pop ups, manages your cookies and pass words, locks down your files, folde rs and drives, filters objectionable content, and puts you in control of the communications in and out of your PC. McAfee Internet Security provides powerful protection for today's Int e rnet users.

Introduction

In the last few years the Inter net has changed from a communications network that government entities and universities used almost exclusively, to an information treasure house that people of all ages and occupations can now access. With an Internet account, you can send electronic mail (e-mail) around the world in seconds, do research without leaving home, meet new friends in an online chat room, or shop without getting out of your bathrobe. However, with all these conveniences come a certain element of risk. When you use the Internet, information is transmitted from your computer to other computers on the Internet – information you may not want other people to have. And those computers can also send files to your computer that may contain viruses. While most of these files are harmless, some can invade your privacy or even damage the data on your computer’s hard drive.

McAfee Internet Security addresses any of these potential risks with its comprehensive features designed to protect your privacy and security when using the Internet.

With its new features, you can now also act as an Administrator and apply customized protection settings not only for yourself, but for other users of your computer and easily monitor potential risks they may encounter while browsing the Internet.

Important information about Windows XP migration

Upgrading your computer's operating system from any version of Windows to Windows XP causes all McAfee products installed before migration to become disabled after migration to Windows XP.

You will be made aware of this situation as you make your first attempt to start a McAfee product (after migration) - you will be instructed to reinstall the product.

As such, you will need to uninstall all McAfee products and reinstall using your installation CD or the software obtained from McAfee via download.
