Enforced client Anti-Virus FAQ about CONFIGURING POLICIES
Resolution
1. Can I change the settings in the McAfee Default policy?
No. However, you can create a new policy, and the new policy will initially be configured with the default settings. You can then adjust the settings you want to change. There is no need to configure all settings when you create a new policy.
2. How can I prevent popup prompts from appearing when unrecognized programs are detected?
Virus and spyware protection and firewall protection prompt users for a response to a potentially unwanted program or Internet application detection when set to Prompt mode. To prevent popups, select Protect or Report mode. For highest protection, select Protect to automatically delete unrecognized programs (virus and spyware protection) or block unrecognized Internet applications (firewall protection).
3. Why would I want to specify excluded files and folders or approved programs?
Specifying excluded files and folders from scanning can be useful if you know a particular type of file is not vulnerable to attack, or a particular folder is safe. If you use a program or Internet application to conduct your business, approving it keeps it from being detected as unrecognized and deleted or blocked. If you are unsure, it is best not to specify exclusions.
4. Can I add approved programs and allowed Internet applications to multiple policies at the same time?
Yes. A link in the Unrecognized Programs report or the User-Approved Programs List lets you add a program to multiple policies. When you click Allow, the SecurityCenter displays a listing of all the policies you have created where the program is not currently added. You can select up to 10 of these policies at a time.
5. Can I add approved programs and allowed Internet applications to the McAfee Default policy?
No. However, you can create a new policy and add them. When you click Add Policy on the Groups + Policies page, the new policy is prepopulated with the McAfee Default policy settings. Specify a name for the new policy, save it, and then add approved programs and allowed Internet applications as needed.
