The SonicWALL Default policy

Until you create additional policies, all computers are assigned the SonicWALL Default policy, which is configured with settings recommended by SonicWALL to protect many environments. You cannot rename or modify the SonicWALL Default policy.

When you create a new policy, the default settings appear as a guideline. This enables you to configure only the settings you want to change without having to configure them all.

Tab	Default setting

Virus Protection	On-Demand Scan: Off
Spyware Protection	Spyware Protection Status: On
	Spyware Protection Mode: Prompt

Desktop Firewall	Automatically install the desktop firewall on all computers using this
	policy: Disabled
	Use Smart Recommendations to automatically approve common
	Internet applications: Enabled
	Firewall Configuration: User configures firewall
	Firewall Status: On
	Firewall Protection Mode: Prompt
	Connection Type: Untrusted

Browser Protection	Automatically install browser protection on all computers using this
	policy: Enabled

Advanced Settings	Update client computers where users are not logged in: Enabled
	Display support notifications on client computers: Enabled
	Virus protection:
	Enable outbreak response: Enabled
	Enable buffer overflow protection: Enabled
	Enable script scanning: Enabled
	Scan email (before delivering to the Outlook Inbox): Enabled
	Scan all file types during on-access scans: Enabled
	Scan compressed archives during on-access scans: Disabled
	Scan compressed archives during on-demand scans: Enabled
	Check for updates every: 12 hours
	Spyware protection:
	All programs types are enabled.

With the default Advanced Settings configuration, it is possible for an on-demand scan to detect threats in archived files that are not detected during an on-access scan. This is because on-access scans do not look at compressed archives by default. If this is a concern for your organization, you should enable this option.
