3.Click Save and restart the Server.

4.After you allow the use of policies, the Default policy predefined policy is created. You cannot delete this policy, but you can edit it and assign it to stations.

The Default policy predefined policy is located in the Policies system group that is hidden by default. To display this group in the anti-virus network hierarchical tree, set the Settings of tree view → Show hidden groups option on the toolbar.
