McAfee Agent 8.8

McAfee Agent is a software component that provides secure communication between McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) and managed endpoint products, such as McAfee VirusScan Enterprise and McAfee Endpoint Security.

McAfee Agent helps to enforce security policies, deploy security updates, and generate reports on endpoint security status.

You can install McAfee Agent either manually or using an automated deployment tool, such as Systems Management Server (SMS) or Group Policy. The installation file is available for download from the McAfee ePO console.

McAfee Agent runs on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux.

McAfee Agent requires TCP/IP connectivity to communicate with the McAfee ePO server or other management systems. The endpoints also need to be able to connect to the internet in order to receive security updates and patches.

By default, McAfee Agent checks in with the ePO server every hour for any new policy changes or updates. This interval can be customized based on your organization's needs.

Yes, McAfee Agent can be uninstalled through the Add/Remove Programs feature in the Control Panel of Windows or by running the uninstallation command for Mac and Linux systems.

McAfee Agent is designed to work with other McAfee endpoint products. However, it may be possible to use it in conjunction with non-McAfee security solutions through custom configurations and integrations.

McAfee provides technical support for McAfee Agent through its customer service portal and Knowledge Base. You can also find community forums and user groups for additional support and resources.

No, McAfee Agent only collects system information necessary for security management purposes, such as device ID, operating system version, and security software status. It does not collect any personal data or information from user files or activities.
