V-78561	Medium	The McAfee MOVE AV Options Policy must be configured to automatically delete quarantined data after a time period of no more than 28 days.	The quarantine on each system represents a potential danger should the files contained within the quarantine be executed inadvertently. Deleting the quarantine contents on a regular basis will...
V-78553	Medium	The McAfee MOVE AV On Demand Scan policy must be configured to scan all file types.	When scanning for malware, excluding specific file types will increase the risk of a malware-infected file going undetected. By configuring anti-virus software to scan all file types, the scanner...
