# Computer Settings

Anti-Virus Computer Settings Configuration

## Configuring Computer Settings

As with the Firewall Settings, the Computer Settings can only be configured in a Windows Policy with the Anti-Virus enabled.

{% hint style="info" %}
See [Anti-Virus Settings](/faronicsdeploy/anti-virus/faronics-anti-virus-and-firewall-protection/anti-virus.md) for a step-by-step guide to creating a Windows Policy with Anti-Virus enabled. The steps below continue from there.

| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
