What settings are or aren't needed depends on the computing habits of the
people using the computer. Open the help file and the program's
configuration menus. Use the two in conjunction to step through all of the
settings. If unsure about a particular setting - what it is, how it works,
how useful it is or isn't - it's probably best to leave it alone until you
can get more information about it from Symantec.
