McAfee Help

Fix security vulnerabilities

With My Home Network, you can fix most security vulnerabilities on trusted PCs, and do it remotely. You don't need to be sitting at the PC that requires your attention.

You cannot fix problems remotely on a PC without McAfee protection. When you select the icon for an unprotected PC on the network map, you can follow the link that appears for full instructions on how to install McAfee software to it.
1 Access the network map.
2 Click the icon for a PC or device.
3 Review the security vulnerabilities that were detected, which appear above the PC's details.
4 Click Fix issues to restore the PC to a secure state.
My Home Network can repair most reported issues remotely, but some security vulnerabilities might require manual intervention. In this case, My Home Network fixes the issues that can be repaired remotely, then prompts you to fix the remaining issues locally. You do this by logging on to the Home Page on the vulnerable PC and following the recommendations provided. In some cases, the suggested solution is to install the latest version of McAfee protection on the remote PC.
