DESCRIPTION:

RESOLUTION:

Please login to your SonicWall appliance and browse to Security Services | Client AV Enforcement:

Please click on the place where it says Click here to manage McAfee

A new page would come up which would ask for your mySonicWall.com account credentials (Please note it is not your appliance username/password) In case you don't have the mySonicWall.com username/password ,you can use firewall authentication code also which can be found under System | Status



After the credentials are entered , a new windows will open up with McAfee security center
As stated earlier the McAfee default policy does not have browser protection enabled and cannot be edited
you need to create a new policy in order to enable browser protection and customize it for other features



Please navigate to browser protection part of the new policy (In case you are already using a custom policy ,you can edit the same policy and enable browser protection)



Once it is enable ,please save the policy and then make the PC/client where you want to enable browser protection member of this policy

You can also make this policy as default so that it will be applicable on all the users who are member of default policy 
Please save the change and then update the client McAfee from taskbar








Now once the update is finished the browser protection should show up and be working
