Securing client computers
Applies To: Forefront Client Security
Client computers run the following applications:
Client Security Antimalware service, known as the Client Security agent
Client Security State Assessment service
MOMĀ 2005 agent
Controlling the Client Security agent
Client Security enables you to determine how much control end users have of the behavior of the Client Security agent. The most secure settings disallow users from changing any behavior of the Client Security agent; however, this may be undesirable in your organization.
It is recommended that you review the policy-based support for controlling users' experience of the Client Security agent and decide how much control to grant end users. For more information, see Controlling the end-user experience (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=86661).
