Configuring access protection settings

Use Access Protection Policies to protect your system’s access points and prevent termination of McAfee processes.
CAUTION:
Failure to enable access protection to prevent McAfee services from being stopped leaves your system unprotected from numerous malware attacks.
There are two types of access-protection rules you can configure.
  • Predefined rules — Allow you to:
    • Open the access-protection rule category in one of the user interface consoles.
    • Select the block and report action to take if the rule is broken.
  • User-defined rules — Allow you to:
    • Create the user-defined rule category with one of the user interface consoles.
    • Choose which type of blocking the rule enforces: port blocking, file and folder blocking, or registry blocking.
    • Configure the rule details.
    • Save the rule and modify it in the future, if needed.
