Configuring Smart Recommendations For Alerts - McAfee VSF09EMB1RAA - VirusScan Plus 2009 User Manual

Configuring Smart Recommendations for alerts

You can configure Firewall to include, exclude, or display
recommendations in alerts when any programs try to access the
Internet. Enabling Smart Recommendations helps you decide
how to handle alerts.
When Smart Recommendations is applied (and the security level
is set to Automatic with outgoing-only access enabled), Firewall
automatically allows known programs, and blocks potentially
dangerous programs.
When Smart Recommendations is not applied, Firewall neither
allows or blocks Internet access, nor provides a recommendation
in the alert.
When Smart Recommendations is set to Show, an alert prompts
you to allow or block access, and Firewall provides a
recommendation 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.
