McAfee Anti-Theft Help

Set up McAfee® Anti-Theft

Before your device and its important files can be protected by McAfee Anti-Theft, you'll need to set it up on your device. The setup wizard guides you through selecting security questions and answers to protect your account, and choosing your settings.

1 Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
2 Double-click the McAfee Anti-Theft icon in your taskbar.
3 From the Home Page, click Set up.
You'll be asked to:
Create an Anti-Theft password that you'll need if your device is ever locked down, or your files are locked.
Provide an email address to receive important updates about your device's status.
Verify that you want to track your device's location in case of loss or theft.
Once setup is complete, you can access the Anti-Theft Web Console from any device's web browser to remotely manage your settings.
