McAfee Core API is part of McAfee SecurityCenter, a security solution that allows users to monitor their computer's security status and to know instantly whether their computer's virus, spyware, e-mail, and firewall protection services are up-to-date. Most McAfee SecurityCenter builds offer trial subscriptions to McAfee’s security software.

mchost.exe executes as a process under the SYSTEM account with extensive privileges (the system and the administrator accounts have the same file privileges) typically within the context of its parent mcsvhost.exe (McAfee Shared Service Host by McAfee). The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). The file is digitally signed by McAfee which was issued by the VeriSign certificate authority (CA).
