McAfee Total Protection Service

The always-on, always up-to-date, single solution for protecting your business

Rumor Technology

McAfee makes available Rumor Technology - a McAfee- hosted solution that uses file sharing intelligence to distribute security updates within a network.

The peer-to-peer technology-based "Rumor" permits McAfee Total Protection Service solutions to share anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall product updates with one another across a local area network - saving bandwidth, management time and money associated with security.

The installed McAfee agent works through proxy servers and firewall where McAfee's Rumor technology works to broadcast security updates via exponential relay throughout the internal network - thus increasing the speed of installation and updates as well as lower bandwidth utilization.
