Configuring Smart Recommendations for alerts

You can configure Firewall to include, exclude, or display
recommendations in alerts when any programs attempt Internet
access. Enabling Smart Recommendations helps you decide how
to handle alerts.
When Smart Recommendations is enabled (and the security level
is set to Trusting with outbound-only access enabled), Firewall
automatically allows or blocks known programs, and displays in
the alert a recommendation when it detects potentially
dangerous programs.
When Smart Recommendations is disabled, Firewall neither
allows or blocks Internet access, nor recommends an action plan
in the alert.
When Smart Recommendations is set to Display Only, an alert
prompts you to allow or block access, but recommends an action
plan in the alert.
Enable Smart Recommendations
You can enable Smart Recommendations for Firewall to
automatically allow or block programs, and alert you about
unrecognized and potentially dangerous programs.
