McAfee Total Protection Service - Rumor Technology
McAfee makes available Rumor Technology - a McAfee hosted solution that uses file sharing intelligence to distribute security updates within a network.
The peer-to-peer technology-based "Rumor" permits McAfee Total Protection for Small Business solutions to share anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall product updates with one another across a local area network - saving bandwidth, management time and money associated with security.
The installed McAfee agent works through proxy servers and firewalls where McAfee's Rumor technology works to broadcast security updates via exponential relay throughout the internal network - thus increasing the speed of installation and updates as well as lower bandwidth utilization.
