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 adsand pop ups,
manages your cookies and passwords, locks down your files, folders 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 Internet users.
Introduction
In the last few yearsthe Internet has changed from acommunications 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
thosecomputerscan alsosendfilestoyour computerthatmaycontainviruses.
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.

What’s included with McAfee Internet Security?
nThe Administrator: As the Administrator, you are able to set up
protection settings for other users of your computer. You can add, edit
and delete a user’s profile—then setup individual privacy, security and
Internet filtering options that McAfee Internet Security will apply
whenever any of these users are browsing the Web through your
computer.
nActivity Logs: Activity Logs allow you to view a list of all the
interactions that you andother profiled users of your computer had with
McAfee Internet Security, including the date and time of the activity.
You can print, save or clear this list.
nSecurity Check: You can run an extensive check of your computer for
any privacy or security problems via this feature. After McAfee Internet
Security performs the check, it displays any problem found, provides
additional information about the problem, and guides you through on
how to solve the problem.
nVirusScan: McAfee Internet Security uses McAfee VirusScan to address
virus-related problems you may encounter through the Internet. This
feature allows you to set how to perform a virus scan operation on your
computer; what to do if a virus is found; and how it should alert you
once the virus is detected. You can also direct VirusScan to keep a record
of actions performed on your computer.
nFirewall: McAfee Internet Security incorporates McAfee Firewall to
protect your computer while it is connected to the Internet. McAfee
Firewall is a highly-flexible, easy-to-use program. Whether you are
connected to the Internet via DSL, cable modem or standard dial-up,
Internet communication in to and out of your PC is secure.
nQuickClean Lite: Remove unnecessary files using QuickClean Lite. The
QuickClean Lite wizard enables you to clean your computer of
unnecessary files and free valuable hard disk space.
nShredder: For privacy and security reasons, you may want to be positive
that the information stored in files you delete is permanently erased
from your computer. Shredder does this for you by “security wiping”
deleted files so they cannot be restored or rebuilt using an “undelete”
type of utility.

About this manual
This manual provides the basic information you need to install, set up and get
started with McAfee Internet Security 5.0. More detailed information about
how to perform tasks within McAfee Internet Security is provided via online
Help. You can get Help while working with the different windows and dialog
boxes.
You can also view the Readme.txt file which contains other general
information, known issues, etc., about this product.
McAfee Internet Security and your online
connectionYou must have an Internet connection through a local network or a modem to
use all McAfee Internet Security features. Some networks have an Internet
connection that you can use by connecting to the network –either directly or
through dial–up networking. Your computer must have a modem installed if
you don’t connect through a network.
You can establish an Internet connection through an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) such as MSN, AOL, or Earthlink, etc. An ISP acts as a middleman
between you and the Internet. Your computer connects (using your modem)
to the ISP’s equipment, which in turn connects your computer to the Internet.
In addition, you must also have a browser. A browser is software, such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, that allows you to view
text and graphics and download files from Web sites.

McAfee Internet Security features
This section briefly describes other features of McAfee Internet Security that
protect you from the most common Internet threats.
Only the designated administrator or a user with administrative rights can
have access to these features which allow them to customize protection
settings for themselves and in the case of the Administrator, protection for
other profiled users of the same computer.
Protection from privacy threats
nIdentity Protector monitors your Internet connection and warns you
before private information is sent to an nonsecure Internet site. It stops
programs and other people that use your computer (like your kids) from
sending your name and credit card numbers over the Internet without
your approval.
nCookie Blocker prevents Web sites from storing cookies on your hard
drive. Third-party Web sites use cookies to track your Web browsing
habits. You can choose your level of interaction with Cookie Blocker.
nWeb Trail Cleaner cleans your Web browsing trails such as cached files;
list of URLs (Uniform Resource Locator, also known as Web address)
visited; and history files—when you close your browser. This feature
prevents other users of your computer from tracking your online
movements by viewing the files and URL addresses left over from your
Internet browsing.
nReferer Filter prevents search information that you request at one Web
site from being passed along to the next site you visit. Without Referer
Filter, your browser may be allowing the transfer of your search request
information from one Web site to another.
Protection from security threats
nGatekeeper allows you to control the programs that have access to your
Internet connection. Programs on your PC can be programmed to access
to the Internet without your consent.
nFile Guardian protects files that contain your sensitive data from being
opened, renamed,copied, moved, or deleted. Programs, suchas ActiveX
and Java programs, can scan your PC for personal information or delete
files without your permission.
File Guardian also limits access to protected files either to programs you
specify or through file encryption. It can limit the programs that can
access your tax, online banking, or personal accounting data files.
