Using the SecurityCenter Management of security policies McAfee Default policy Until you create additional policies, all computers are assigned the McAfee Default policy, which is configured with settings recommended by McAfee to protect many environments and ensure that all computers can access important websites and applications until you have a chance to create a customized policy. You cannot rename or modify the McAfee Default policy. When you add computers to your account, the McAfee Default policy is assigned to them. When you delete a policy that is assigned to one or more groups, the McAfee Default policy is assigned to those groups automatically. The first time you create a new policy, the McAfee Default policy settings appear as a guideline. This enables you to configure only the settings you want to change without having to configure them all. After you create one or more new policies, you can select a different default policy for your account. In the future, new policies will be prepopulated with these default settings, and the new default policy is assigned to new computers (if no other policy is selected) and groups whose policy is deleted. NOTE: This section explains only the settings for the McAfee Default policy. See the chapters for particular types of protection for a complete explanation of all related policy options.
