mcafee validation trust protection service

[User16096767]

Why is Mcafee validation trust protection service is set to Run but Manual when we install ENS?

We have servers showing services stopped and some showing the service is  running.

Self protection is enabled and services cannot be stopped on the rest of them.

Also why is Mcafee Firewall Core Service is showing during ENS installation? We are not installing Firewall product.

Some McAfee services are set to "Manual" and only run as a service when needed, as these services also run inside the McAfee MMS service; ref KB85374 - McAfee Endpoint Security Products: McAfee Management Service and dependencies.  It is suggested to not modify the configuration of these services.

Also, the Firewall Core Service is not the "ENS Firewall" product; it's gets installed as it's a required Core component for several McAfee products.
