We’ll be rolling these changes out to all our Windows customers eventually, but not everyone will get the update immediately. We’ve updated this article with the new Windows interface steps. We’ve also retained the legacy Windows interface steps for customers who need them.

To learn more about these changes, see TS103068 – Changes to your McAfee security product for Windows.
