McAfee Anti-Theft Help

Change your PC's lockdown message

After your PC shuts down and locks, it shows a single screen that contains steps to unlock your PC, and a customized message. You can add your contact information to this message, such as an email address or phone number, so you can be notified if someone finds your PC.

1 Log in to the Anti-Theft Web Console.
2 Make sure your PC is in normal mode.
3 Click Settings in the top right corner of the web console.
4 From the Lock Settings tab, go to Lockdown message.
5 Type your contact info, up to a maximum of 50 English characters.
6 Click Save.
Before your PC can save the changes, it must first connect to the Internet and sync with your account. This can take several minutes. If you want to sync now, open McAfee Anti-Theft from your PC's desktop and click Sync on the Home Page.
