Recommended post-installation tasks

Perform these tasks to keep the anti-malware and DAT files up to date, and to make sure that the

protection configuration does not affect the business routines.

Task Description

Update

anti-malware and

DAT files

After installation, McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac automatically updates the

DAT files to protect the Mac from the latest threats. By default, this update is

scheduled at 4.45 pm local time every day.

When the DAT files are updated for the first time, it may take longer time to

download the full DAT. The subsequent updates will be incremental.

For more information, see Update the anti-malware and DAT files.

Perform an

on-demand scan

Run an on-demand-scan to scan the local volumes, after you install the software

to clean the infected files that are not accessed by but reside in the Mac.
