Task Description

Anti-malware

protection

McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac comes with the default settings for

anti-malware protection. Verify that the default settings are consistent with your

organization policies and provides complete protection against malware.

Configure the On-demand Scan task to define:

• The items to scan (files, folders, and drives)

• Set frequency of scan (daily, weekly, monthly, or immediately)

• Define the action when malware is found (Delete or Quarantine)

For more information, see Configure protection preferences.

Desktop firewall McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac comes with the stateful desktop firewall

enabled, which protects your Mac from the moment the product is installed. The

firewall comes with a set of default rules that enable your Mac to access the

necessary services. We recommend that you review the default rules to make

sure that your Mac can access the necessary services according to your

organization policies.

The rules are processed using a top-down approach with the implicit default block

rules that deny all traffic. This rule can't be modified.

For more information, see Desktop firewall.
