Best practices (virus and spyware protection) To develop an effective strategy for guarding against virus and spyware threats, we recommend that you proactively track the types of threats being detected on your network and where they are occurring. 1 Check your status emails or the SecurityCenter website for an overview of your account's status. • Ensure that computers in your account are up-to-date. • Ensure that protection is installed on all computers. 2 Check the Detections report regularly to see what is being detected. 3 Check the Unrecognized Programs report frequently to monitor the programs that users are approving on client computers. If you know some of the programs are safe and do not want them to be detected as potentially unwanted, add them to policies as approved programs. McAfee Total Protection Service 5.1.5 Product Guide 85
