Blocked Events

Your Protection level determines what items Active Protection automatically blocks. You can also block items manually for some Protection levels. When a potential malware item is blocked - specifically those blocked by the Internet monitors - you may notice the effect during your Internet operations. For example, Active Protection will not allow particular items to be downloaded or displayed if harmful to your system unless you allow it.

Active Protection lists the items that were previously blocked. You can view the list, display any details associated with a blocked event, and chose to remove or restore a blocked item.

To view the Blocked Events list, do the following:

1. Click the Active Protection button in the Main window.
2. In the Active Protection panel select Blocked Events.
