McAfee to Offer 18-Month Subscription to McAfee Total Protection Service on HP Desktop and Notebook PCs

McAfee, Inc. announced an agreement with HP to offer an 18-month subscription to McAfee Total Protection Service on HP desktop and notebook PCs in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

"Smaller businesses are under constant attack from an ever-growing list of security threats, including new forms of malware, spam and data loss," said David Quantrell, EMEA President, McAfee. "With a cloud-based security service, the day-to-day management of their security infrastructure is taken off their hands. The Total Protection Service streamlines security, with automated updates and upgrades, reduced operational costs, and ongoing maintenance and support requirements."

According to McAfee, the 18-month subscription to McAfee Total Protection Service provides an integrated business solution that reduces infrastructure costs and automates security. It contains anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and basic email virus protection service, centrally managed by McAfee experts even for PCs not connected to Internet. The updates to those services are handled automatically and remotely 24x7. Additionally, McAfee's Web-based reporting and configuration console is available to HP PC customers 24x7, enabling access to user management at all times.

This service is available from HP Preferred Partners in the form of a physical card. The card, including an activation code, will enable the end user to activate McAfee Total Protection Service, which is preloaded on select HP commercial desktop and notebook PCs in EMEA.

McAfee Total Protection Service is available from Preferred Partners with HP commercial desktop PCs or HP standard and business series notebook PCs at an estimated street price of EUR46. The service is available in six languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch.
