What does McAfee Anti-Theft do?
Every day in cities, towns and villages around the world, computers are lost, stolen and destroyed by an increasingly sophisticated community of cyber criminals. Sometimes personal and confidential information is taken and used in identity fraud or it is exposed to the general public. A number of different surveys have estimated that online identity theft costs the global economy over $60 billion each year. McAfee has spent many years developing McAfee Anti-Theft. This cutting-edge software allows you to safeguard your sensitive and most valuable files in security vaults – ensuring that even in the event of theft, they cannot be accessed and used against your wishes.
Of course, McAfee cannot claim to be able to retrieve stolen computers, but they can ensure that files contained on stolen or hacked computers cannot be accessed. Using McAfee’s Anti-Theft file protection software, users can store all of their sensitive files in a number of high-security inaccessible vaults, meaning that even if your computer is taken by a talented hacker – they will not be able to discover sensitive information about your company or personal life unless they know the passwords.
Keep them safe
The majority of people store important files on their computers. This could be work documents, financial spreadsheets, scanned images of contracts, family photos or personal videos. Evidence collected by various independent bodies detail that 2 million laptops are stolen each year, 78% of which do not have core protection.
With McAfee Anti-Theft the consequences of losing your computer, or of being hacked by the increasingly sophisticated and skilled band of computer programmers would not be bad. It would be impossible for hackers to access your key files as they would be stored safely in a number of impenetrable, password protected vaults. This is the key feature of McAfee Anti-Theft. Without it, quite simply you are leaving yourself, and your data, exposed.
