概要
The McAfee Support Notification Service (SNS) is a communication service. It provides timely information by email to corporate customers, partners, and employees who subscribe to the service. SNS communications help you maximize the functionality and protection capabilities of your McAfee products.
Click to expand the sections below for answers to frequently asked questions about SNS:
What kind of information will I receive, and how frequently?
The communication method for all subscribers is email. SNS delivers the following types of messages:
Product information
Notices: Standard product news, such as releases, signature updates, or end-of-life announcements
Alerts: Critical and urgent information that requires immediate customer action. Alerts include vulnerabilities, false positives, virus outbreaks, or critical remediation updates. Alerts are determined by severity and urgency and sent only if immediate customer action is needed.
NOTE: Alerts are infrequent; Notices are the most common form of message.
ProTips: Short product-specific emails offering best practices, troubleshooting, and how-to information with links to in-depth Knowledge Base resources (up to one or two per week).
Special Notices
Weekly Roundup: A weekly summary all notices and alerts for the preceding seven days (sent Monday afternoons Central Time)
DAT Delay Notices: A notice sent when there is a delay in the regular DAT file updates that McAfee Labs provides
Malware & Threat Reports: Updates from McAfee Labs on trends and news about threats and malware
McAfee Subprocessors: Updates when McAfee changes subprocessor or subcontractor relationships (for GDPR compliance)
How do I subscribe to SNS?
If you do not have a current subscription account or want to create another account (for example, with an alternate email address):
NOTE: This action unsubscribes you only from receiving McAfee SNS notices. You continue to receive email communications from other McAfee subscription services that you have subscribed to.
What happens when I unsubscribe from SNS communications?
Your subscription data is deleted from the system 90 days after you unsubscribe. If you decide to resubscribe after 90 days, you must complete the subscription form again.
How do I change my email address?
If you need to change your email address, unsubscribe your old email address and then set up a new subscription with the new email address:
Unsubscribe the old email address from receiving SNS communications. See the "How do I unsubscribe" section above.
Subscribe to SNS with your new email address. See the "How do I subscribe to SNS" section above.
What happens if my email address is deactivated and an SNS gets a "hard bounceback"? For example, after leaving a job?
If a contact's email address is labeled as a hard bounceback, the contact will not be sent any further communications. A hard bounceback indicates that the email address no longer exists. Subscription details for the contact are deleted after 90 days.
Can I have my IT service provider get SNS notifications?
Yes. Direct your service provider to the SNS Subscription Preference page at https://www.mcafee.com/enterprise/en-us/sns/preferences/sns-form.html and ask your service provider to complete the form. A company can use a distribution list or special email address (for example, support@xxxx.com) to make sure that a team gets the SNS communications.
