Updating Your Security Services

Updating your security services provides you with the latest information and protection.

The SecurityCenter is automatically configured to check for updates for all of your McAfee Security services every four hours when you are connected to the Internet, then notify you with alerts and sounds. However, you can also manually check for updates from the SecurityCenter toolbar.
