DTAM138 - McAfee VirusScan Access Protection Policies must be configured to prevent McAfee services from being stopped.

Information

When the Prevent McAfee services from being stopped check box is selected under Access Protection, VSE will prevent anyone except the System account from terminating McAfee services. This protects VirusScan from being disabled by malicious programs that seek to circumvent virus protection programs by terminating their services.

Solution

From the ePO server console System Tree, select the Systems tab, select the asset to be checked, select Actions, select Agent, and select Modify Policies on a Single System. From the product pull down list, select VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0. Select the policy associated with the Access Protection Policies. Under the Access Protection tab, locate the 'Access protection settings:' label. Select the 'Prevent McAfee services from being stopped' option. Select Save.
