To protect your computer from potentially unwanted programs you must configure categories of unwanted programs to detect in your environment.

Configuration is a two-step process:

1. Configure the Unwanted Programs Policy to define which potentially unwanted programs to detect and exclude:
   
   • Select whole categories of programs or specific programs within a category from a predefined list which comes from the current DAT file.
   • Specify exclusions.
   • Create a list of user-defined programs to detect.

2. Enable unwanted program detection in the on-access, email, and on-demand scanners, then configure which actions to take when an unwanted program is detected.
