Updating McAfee Internet Security

nAuto Inquiry: If Auto Inquiry is enabled, it allows you to receive notification of product updates while connected to the Internet. We do not recommend Auto Inquiry if you have slow internet connection

nManual Updating: If you rarely connect to the Internet, you may prefer to use Manual Updating with your McAfee product. You can manually update while connected to the Internet. To do this, select the UPDATE function from within the individual product.

Manual Updating provides you with explicit control of the updating process.

Home page query

Related to Instant Updater is Home page query. This feature allows to configure your McAfee product’s home page to display a message when an update is available. After you install your McAfee software, Home-page query “on” is the default setting.
