Direct client-side management of the Host Intrusion Prevention Windows client is available through a client interface. To display the client console, double-click the client icon in the system tray, or, on the Start menu, select Programs McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention.

When the client console first appears, most options are locked. When the console is in the locked mode, you can only view current settings and manually create client rules if the Client UI policy has manual creation of client rules enabled. For complete control of all settings in the console, unlock the interface with a password created in the applied Client UI policy. For details on these Client UI policy settings, see Creating and applying a Client UI policy on page 106.
