McAfee Anti-Theft Safeguards Valuable PC Files in Secure 'Digital Vaults'
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc.,
(NYSE: MFE) today announced McAfee Anti-Theft File Protection, an
innovative security software which provides privacy and theft protection
for valuable files stored on a PC. By enabling PC users to lock their
important files, such as bank statements, tax returns, business documents
and even photos in a digital vault, McAfee Anti-Theft can safeguard them
against identity and PC thieves, hackers and others.
Consumers and small businesses have more digital information on their
PCs than ever before. McAfee research shows that nine out of ten consumers
now keep personal information, such as wills, financial documents, social
security numbers and passwords, on their PCs, and more than 50% would not
want other people to see certain documents and files. With two million
laptops stolen every year and someone's identity stolen every two seconds,
consumers and small businesses need an easy way to protect their sensitive
information.
"McAfee protects consumers on the PC, Web and mobile platforms and with
the introduction of this new anti-theft category, we are offering consumers
an important extra layer of security for their PCs," said Todd Gebhart,
senior vice president and general manager, consumer, mobile and small
business. "With McAfee Anti-Theft, we are extending our security offering
beyond traditional malware protection to providing consumers with
comprehensive online and offline protection, giving them the peace of mind
that their PC files are safe and secure."
McAfee Anti-Theft was designed to enable consumers and small businesses
to use the product regardless of what security software they already have
installed. McAfee has combined ease of use with powerful data and
information security to make it simple for everyone in the family or small
business to quickly secure personal and sensitive information. In just a
few easy steps, users can create their own vault, store sensitive and
personal files, and protect their vault with a secure password.
Users can also create multiple vaults per PC so that those sharing a
computer can have their own personal vault. Also, if a password is
forgotten it can easily be reset by simply answering a number of
verification questions created by the user.
