146 McAfee VirusScan Plus Fixing security vulnerabilities Managed computers with administrative permissions can manage the McAfee protection status of other managed computers on the network and fix reported security vulnerabilities remotely. For example, if a managed computer's McAfee protection status indicates that VirusScan is disabled, another managed computer with administrative permissions can enable VirusScan remotely. When you fix security vulnerabilities remotely, Network Manager repairs most reported issues. However, some security vulnerabilities may require manual intervention on the local computer. In this case, Network Manager fixes the issues that can be repaired remotely, and then prompts you to fix the remaining issues by logging in to SecurityCenter on the vulnerable computer and following the recommendations provided. In some cases, the suggested resolution is to install the latest version of SecurityCenter on the remote computer or computers on your network.
