The Events tab summarizes all intrusion and system events on your computer. The tab
columns show the time, type, and severity of an event; the intruder's name and IP
address; how Desktop Protector has responded to the event, and other information.
To customize the information on the Events tab, right-click a column header and select
Columns. A window appears in which you can add, hide, show, resize, or rearrange
columns. By default, the information on the Events tab is sorted first by severity, then by
time.
Click a column header to sort the list by that column. Click the column header again to
reverse the sort order.
When you select an event in the Events tab, a brief description of the attack appears at the
bottom of the tab. For more information about the event, or to see suggested remedies for
the attack, click advICE to connect to the ISS Web site for the latest information about that
event.

Desktop Protector cannot determine a name, it displays the

Events tab shows the collected occurrences as one event.
This column displays the number of occurrences that made
up that event. The Time column shows the time the most
recent event occurred.
