5 In the Intrusion Signatures window, check the
attack signatures that you want to include.
6 Click OK.
When an attack attempt is detected, the connection is
automatically blocked to ensure that your computer is
safe. If the attack comes from a computer that has
previously tried to access your computer by using
another attack signature, Norton AntiVirus activates
AutoBlock. The AutoBlock feature blocks all traffic
between your computer and the attacking computer
for a specific time period. During this period, AutoBlock
also blocks the traffic that does not match an attack
signature.
AutoBlock stops traffic between your computer and a
specific computer. If you want to stop all traffic to and
from your computer, you can use the Block All
Network Traffic option.
If AutoBlock blocks a computer or computers that you
need to access, you can turn off AutoBlock.
