About customizing settings and options
Intrusion Prevention
Customizing protection features
Intrusion Prevention scans all
the network traffic to and from
your computer and compares
this information against a set of
attack signatures. Attack
signatures contain the
information that identifies an
attacker's attempt to exploit a
known vulnerability in the
operating system or in a
program. If the information
matches an attack signature,
Intrusion Prevention blocks the
traffic from the suspicious
computer.
The following are some activities
that you can do using the
Intrusion Prevention options:
