A Special Message from McAfee’s CEO I’m very pleased to announce that McAfee – the world's largest dedicated security company – has recently launched an exciting and unique product called McAfee Anti-Theft File Protection that provides privacy and theft protection for valuable files stored on PCs. As more and more of our important documents like tax files, financial statements and images are stored on our personal computers, security solutions have to evolve to provide comprehensive protection or we risk losing it all to identity thieves and other criminals. This new software acts like a “personal vault” that helps protect your confidential files if your computer is ever lost, stolen, hacked or compromised. I am sure you’ll find it comforting to know that McAfee Anti-Theft has the same sophisticated technology that many corporations and government agencies worldwide rely upon to secure their data. You can learn more about McAfee Anti-Theft File Protection in the article below. Sincerely, - Dave DeWalt   CEO, McAfee, Inc. A New Product for Safeguarding Files and Information Actual Product Screenshot Everyday computers are lost, stolen, hacked or shared without permission. As a result, your personal and confidential information can become available to anyone and may lead to privacy invasion, identity theft, financial loss and a huge amount of stress as well as a big waste of time spent cleaning up the mess. McAfee® Anti-Theft is new security software that makes it easy to secure sensitive files like financial documents, personal information, images and other important data. It safeguards against thieves and hackers by allowing you to easily move your files and folders into a “digital vault.” McAfee Anti-Theft encryption offers an easy way to secure sensitive files like financial documents, consumer data, pictures and any important information.

As a natural evolution of phishing – the method of tricking consumers into giving up their personal financial information using fake emails and web sites that look exactly like they are from real companies – Internet scammers are now switching to voice phishing or vishing. Potential victims get the usual convincing email that looks like a genuine alert. But instead of being directed to a web site to resolve the pending issue, they are given a phone number to call. Those who call the “customer service” number are greeted with a pirated recording of an automated voice system, ostensibly for the financial institution, and are requested to enter their card number to authenticate themselves.
