After you set up a home network, you can manage its PCs and devices remotely. Remote management allows you to handle many tasks and problems from a single PC — you don't need to be sitting at the PC that requires your attention. The kinds of tasks you can do remotely include managing the security status of a PC on the network, and fixing security vulnerabilities. You can also set automatic notifications for a PC or device so that whenever it attempts to enter your network, McAfee lets you know.
| • | Set up automatic notifications You can choose to be notified when any PC or device on your network comes online. Automatic notifications let you know about the activity of PCs and devices controlled by other users, and their availability when they connect to the network. |
| • | Install McAfee protection on remote PCs If a PC on your network is not using a current version of McAfee protection, you cannot manage its protection status remotely. You might receive a notification that one or more PCs on your network are not protected, but you can also use the network map to see the unprotected PCs on your network. A PC without current McAfee protection installed does not have a shield in its icon. |
