Working with the Anti-Theft Web Console

The Anti-Theft Web Console lets you remotely mark your PC as lost or stolen, track its location, lock it down, or manage other features from your PC, Mac, or mobile device.

Here's what you can do from the Anti-Theft Web Console:

•	Log in from any PC, Mac, or mobile browser You can access the Anti-Theft Web Console from your McAfee My Account page available from the McAfee website. You need to log in with your My Account email address and password.	•	Change your Anti-Theft password You'll need your Anti-Theft password if your PC is ever shut down and locked, or your files are locked.
•	Review and change your PC's state See and update your PC's status when it's lost or stolen, when you're away on vacation, or when you need to let others use your computer.	•	Change your PC's lockdown message When your PC locks down, it will only boot up to a screen that displays a custom message.
•	Mark your PC as lost or stolen If your PC is missing, quickly mark it as lost or stolen and choose whether to track its location or lock it down.	•	Set vacation mode If you plan to be away from your PC, you can put it in vacation mode to disable the locking features.
•	Track your PC's location If you have device tracking on and your PC has an Internet connection, your PC will periodically transmit its location. You can view this location history from the web console's mapping feature.	•	Set repair shop mode If your PC will be used by someone other than you, repair shop mode encrypts your important files so no one can open them but you.
•	Lock down your lost or stolen PC If your PC is in the wrong hands you can quickly ensure your important files and data are protected from hackers and thieves by remotely shutting down and locking your PC. Once shut down, your PC can only be unlocked with your Anti-Theft password.	•	Change your contact information McAfee Anti-Theft emails you about important events affecting your PC. You'll need to provide an email address you use often so that you can receive timely messages about your PC.
•	Set the Auto-lock timer Set the number of days your PC can be disconnected from the Internet before it's locked down.
