Your PC's protection status appears in the top half of the Home Page and indicates whether your PC is protected, and changes according to your software or subscription status. For example, when your subscription expires, the protection status bar changes to red and displays a message that McAfee Anti-Theft is no longer protecting your PC.
View the Home Page from your PC by double-clicking the McAfee Anti-Theft icon in your taskbar.
The types of protection status are:
| • | Secure (green) The protection status bar on your Home Page is green. McAfee Anti-Theft protection features are working and there are no issues. |
| • | Not set up (black) The protection status bar on your Home Page is black. McAfee Anti-Theft has not been set up. You need to set up McAfee Anti-Theft to protect your PC and its sensitive files |
| • | At risk (red) The protection status bar on your Home Page is red. McAfee Anti-Theft is no longer protecting your PC and there is an issue that needs your attention, like an expired subscription. |
 | McAfee Anti-Theft relies on your PC maintaining an Internet connection at all times. If your PC is disconnected, McAfee Anti-Theft automatically locks your files and alerts you after a period of time. You can access your files again by providing your Anti-Theft password, or by re-connecting to the Internet. If your PC is not connected to the Internet for several days, the auto-lock is triggered and your PC is shut down. |
