McAfee Anti-Theft Help

Lock down your PC

If your PC is ever lost or stolen, you can log in to the Anti-Theft Web Console to secure your PC and immediately lock it down so it's useless to thieves.

1 Log in to the Anti-Theft Web Console.
2 Make sure your PC is in normal mode.
3 From the web console, click Secure my PC.
4 To shut down and lock your PC, select Lock down my PC, then click Continue.
5 If necessary, enter the message you'd like to appear on your PC's unlock screen, and set your Anti-Theft password that you'll need to unlock your PC after it locks down.
6 Click Shut down.
Before your PC can save the changes, it must first connect to the Internet and sync with your account. This can take several minutes.
