McAfee Help

Understanding your protection drawers

The protection drawers contain the features that you use to protect your PC. When you move your mouse over a drawer, a message displays indicating the status of the features inside the drawer.

If all of the features inside of a drawer are working properly, the message Active appears on the drawer. However, if McAfee detects a problem with a protection feature, the message Attention! appears on the drawer.

You can click on a drawer to see the status of a feature inside. A feature's status can be:
On
Off
Installed
Available (for installation)
Set Up

If a feature's status is Set Up, you need to customize your settings before the feature can work properly. You can click a feature name to open its setting page. The drawers and features that are available to you depend on the McAfee suite you purchase.
