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.
| • | 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. |
