Installing firewall protection during policy updates

Use this task to install firewall protection automatically whenever client computers check
for an updated policy. You might want to use this feature for adding firewall protection
on computers where the Total Protection Service client software is already installed. By
default, this option is disabled.
NOTE: Enabling this feature can result in unattended installations on computers where
no one is available to authorize communications that are consequently blocked by firewall
protection. If this feature is used to install firewall protection on a server, it is important to
configure essential system services first, to prevent disruptions.
