A policy is a group of system settings that determine how Avast Business Antivirus will be configured on a device.
The Settings tabs list the types of settings that you can apply, which depend upon the deployment options you selected when creating the Avast Business Antivirus policy. For example, by default, the Firewall setting is not enabled. You must enable Firewall when creating an Avast Business Antivirus policy for the Firewall section to be available on the Settings tab.
The Settings tabs are a jumping-off point for configuring the level of protection you want to provide for computer, email, identity, web browsing, and the firewall. You can also configure scan, update, and schedule settings.
