Trusted Zone Setup - ESET SMART SECURITY - QUICK START GUIDE FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA-XP-2000-2003-2008 Quick Start Manual

2. Trusted zone setup

After the installation has completed and a network
connection is detected, a prompt window allowing you to
configure a trusted zone will appear. The window shows
the local subnet defined in your computer's system setup.
These options only affect the visibility of your computer in
the local network, not the internet. There are two access
modes available:
▪ Strict protection – select this option if you do not want
to share files and folders on your computer and want
your computer to be invisible to other users on the same
network. This setting is recommended for users with
a wireless connection.
▪ Allow sharing – select this option if you want to be able
to share files and folders on your computer and want
your computer to be visible to other users on the same
network. This setting is recommended for local home or
office trusted networks.
