Chapter 4 McAfee Internet Security 19 Ignoring protection problems If SecurityCenter detects a non-critical problem, you can either fix or ignore it. Other non-critical problems (for example, if Anti-Spam or Parental Controls are not installed) are automatically ignored. Ignored problems are not shown in the protection category information area on the SecurityCenter Home pane, unless your computer's protection status is green. If you ignore a problem, but later decide that you want it to appear in the protection category information area even when your computer's protection status is not green, you can show the ignored problem.
