Getting Started with McAfee Internet Security 5.0
You can respond to the Internet access alert message in the following ways:
Harmful Site Alert Message
Before you can connect to a harmful site, McAfee Internet Security displays an
alert message, “Your browser is visiting Sitename, a Web site that may harm
your PC or data.”
You must immediately close your browser to end your browser’s connection
to this site. The faster you close your browser, the less time the site has to
transfer harmful data to your PC.
If you want to view the Web site anyway, click Continue.
Program Starts Another Program Message
When another program starts to run another program, McAfee Internet
Security checks to see if you’ve authorized this action. If you haven’t allowed
the program to always open the other program, McAfee Internet Security
displays an alert message.
