Client error reporting<br />
<strong>Host</strong> <strong>Intrusion</strong> <strong>Prevention</strong> includes an error reporting utility that tracks and logs software failures.<br />
When enabled, it prompts the user to <strong>for</strong>ward detected problem data to <strong>McAfee</strong> technical<br />
support, where it can be used to open a support case, if appropriate.<br />
NOTE: To use the error reporting utility, a computer must have Internet access and a web<br />
browser that is Java Script enabled.<br />
If <strong>McAfee</strong> Alert Manager is installed on the network where a computer failed, it in<strong>for</strong>ms the<br />
network administrator that a problem was detected. The network administrator can guide the<br />
user on how to handle the problem.<br />
When the utility detects a failure, the user selects an option:<br />
• Submit Data — Thisconnects to the <strong>McAfee</strong> Technical Support website and submits the<br />
data.<br />
• Ignore Error — No connection is made.<br />
When submitting data to the <strong>McAfee</strong> Technical Support website, the user may be asked <strong>for</strong><br />
additional in<strong>for</strong>mation. If the problem has a known cause, the user may be directed to a web<br />
page that provides in<strong>for</strong>mation about the problem and how to deal with it.<br />
