What about ARTEMIS ?

[Riddlez]

First time I read about it was on av-comparatives.

Very recently I've been reading about Artemis elsewhere on the net.

Supposedly, in the final, non-beta consumer release, Artemis would be part of the new 2009 McAfee products, but it would not be explicitely visible, not part of the user interface. 'Artemis' would not be used as a name.

So, what's going on ?

Will there be an opt-in or opt-out, and where can we locate it/what does it look like :confused:

I want to make certain that I won't participate in Artemis, certainly not without my explicit permission. Currently there is no way to opt-out of McAfee's collecting of security related data (and commercial data gathering, shared with Doubleclick).

Can we get some clarification here ?

Opt out? That's like buying a light fixture and refusing to accept the electricity.

It's not part of the home products....yet.

I already answered you regarding all that here: http://community.mcafee.com/showthread.php?t=221323&highlight=ARTEMIS

If you read the links I gave it isn't about reporting back personal information to McAfee. It's about comparing findings with a database and providing superior protection as a result.

The Artemis is not there on the home products.. and then there is indeed an option in the new suite were ou will have a very clear message to send data to McAfee and you cannot proceed without clicking next on it ( its checked by default though):)

...and nothing personal is sent anyway, just system data.

[vinod_r2]

technically not the entire data that is impossible practically so must be the md hash or something in that respect

Thank you.
