McAfee INTERNET SECURITY SUITE 2008 User Manual page 75

Level Description
Trusting Allows programs to have either inbound and outbound
(full) or outbound-only Internet access. The default
security level is Trusting with the option selected to allow
programs outbound-only access.
If a program is allowed full access, then Firewall
automatically trusts it and adds it to the list of allowed
programs on the Program Permissions pane.
If a program is allowed outbound-only access, then
Firewall automatically trusts it when making an outbound
Internet connection only. An inbound connection is not
automatically trusted.
Open Allows all inbound and outbound Internet connections.
Firewall also allows you to immediately reset your security level
to Trusting (and allow outbound-only access) from the Restore
Firewall Protection Defaults pane.
