A Note About Passwords
When McAfee Internet Security asks for your password and you enter it, the
password stays in effect until one of the following events takes place. For all
Windows operating systems:
n You log out of McAfee Internet Security.

n You shut down your computer.
Fast User Switching is a Windows XP feature that makes it possible for you to
quickly switch between users without having to log off the computer. Multiple
users can share a computer and use it simultaneously, switching back and

If you are using Windows XP with Fast User Switching enabled, McAfee
Internet Security detects a fast user switch and as such, requires each
respective user to input their password in order to use password required
tasks.
