Frequently asked questions

What is a policy?
A policy is a customized subset of product settings that correspond to a policy category. You can
create, modify, or delete as many named policies as needed for each policy category.
What are the McAfee Default and My Default policies?
Upon installation, each policy category contains at least two policies. These are named McAfee Default
and My Default. These are the only policies present for first-time installations. The configurations for
both, initially, are the same.
The McAfee Default named policies cannot be edited, renamed, or deleted. The My Default policies can
be edited, renamed, and deleted.
New server tasks are enabled by default. If you do not want this task to
be enabled, select Disabled in the Schedule status field.
