McAfee Total Protection Service Product Guide
17
Customize policies
After installation, Total Protection Service protects client computers from threats immediately
by using the security settings configured in the McAfee Default policy. However, you might
want to change the way some features are implemented for some or all of the computers on
your account. For example, you might want to set up a list of programs you consider safe or
have computers check for updates every four hours.
Policies are made up of security settings that define how the client software operates on client
computers. Policy management allows you to assign different levels and types of protection to
different users. If you have created groups, you can assign a unique policy to each group or
one policy to all groups.
