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.

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.
