After installation you can access the program double clicking on the small icon from the system tray (right and bottom side of your screen). here you have information about status of real time scan, updates, firewall and subscription.

Main features

McAfee automatically detects if you are using a firewall program, like the one included in Windows package. if is not active will prompt you with an alert to activate a firewall. Is VERY IMPORTANT to keep active the firewall, not only the antivirus.

First time after installation update the program with latest definitions from developers's servers. Click Update button and be prepared to restart computer after operation is finished, in order to take effect. The update made via program's interface is the easiest way, alternatively you can download the DAT package with McAfee definitions from our site.
