After installation, Total Protection Service protects client computers from threats immediately by using
the security settings configured in the McAfee Default policy.
You might want to change the way some settings are configured 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.
For example, you can assign a Sales policy to your mobile Sales Team group, with security settings
that protect against threats in unsecured networks such as airports and hotels.
