How to use the McAfee Internet Security
Configuration Assistant
Although McAfee Internet Security is set up to use security and privacy
settings that are appropriate for most users, some features require your input.
Each interview screen either tells you about a McAfee Internet Security
feature, asks you to enter information, or asks you how you want McAfee
Internet Security to respond to certain situations.
On each interview screen you can click Back to return to a previous screen or
click Next to move to the next screen. In the final interview screen, you click
Finish to save the settings you selected and close the Interview.
What information does McAfee Internet Security ask me to enter?
The McAfee Internet Security interview asks you to enter the personal and
financial information that you want to protect. All the information you enter
into McAfee Internet Security is stored in an encrypted form on your hard disk
– it is never sent to McAfee Software.
You may want to gather your personal information before you start the
interview. During the interview, McAfee Internet Security allows you to enter:
n A password that you can use to protect your McAfee Internet Security
information.
n Information about other users of your computer. If you are the
Administrator, you can create user profiles and set protection settings
that McAfee Internet Security uses whenever a user is using the Internet
via your computer.
n Personal and financial information that you want to protect from being
sent out over the Internet without your knowledge:
n Any Web site login names and passwords that you want to store in
Password Manager.
