Security > Define Profile
The Define Profile page manages security profiles. Each security profile represents a different set of
enabled or disabled security options. Changes to a security profile affect all machine IDs assigned that
security profile. A security profile is assigned to machine IDs using Security > Assign Profile (page 26).
Typically different types of machines or networks require different security profiles. A sample profile is
provided for you. You can't change the sample profile, but you can save it under a new name and make
changes to the copy. The same profile can be used to manage both AVG 9 and AVG 2012 endpoints.
This page provides you with the following actions:
 Save - Saves changes to a security profile.
 Save As - Creates a new security profile by saving it using a different name.
 Delete - Deletes an existing security profile.
 Share - Shares a private security profile. Other users cannot see private security profiles. Sharing
a private security profile makes it a public security profile. Share rights are assigned by object.
There are three sharing checkbox options. The first two checkboxes are mutually exclusive and
