### Priority of anti-malware policies

132-
If they're [turned on](preset-security-policies.md#use-the-microsoft-defender-portal-to-assign-standard-and-strict-preset-security-policies-to-users), the Standard and Strict preset security policies are applied before any custom anti-malware policies or the default policy (Strict is always first). If you create multiple custom anti-malware policies, you can specify the order that they're applied. Policy processing stops after the first policy is applied (the highest priority policy for that recipient).

If Preset security policies are [turned on](preset-security-policies.md#use-the-microsoft-defender-portal-to-assign-standard-and-strict-preset-security-policies-to-users), the Standard and Strict preset security policies are applied before any custom anti-malware policies or the default policy (Strict is always first).

In other words, when a recipient is defined in multiple anti-malware policies, the policies are applied in the following order:
135+
136+
1. The Strict preset security policy.
137+
2. The Standard preset security policy.
138+
3. Custom policies based on the priority of the policy (a lower number indicates a higher priority).
139+
4. The default anti-malware policy.
