Antivirus policies include the same settings as found *endpoint protection* or *device restriction* templates for [device configuration](../create-device-profile.md) policy. However, those policy types include other categories of settings that are unrelated to Antivirus. The additional settings can complicate the task of configuring Antivirus workload.
