Title: Network Shield Setting
Post by: MFB on April 27, 2005, 04:25:37 AM

I set my webshield to normal and Standard to High but I don't know about NetWork Shield, what is the best recommend setting for Network shield? Normal or High, what are the cons for having it on high?

As far as I know the slider bar (normal-high) has nothing to do with the efficiency of Network Shield. It has the same efficiency level whether the slider bar is set to nornal or high.

Oh yeah I almost forgot that normal or high settings are no differance, but it's dosn't mean it's useless to detect and block worm attacks  ;D

Definitely no. Network Shield really works in the real-world and has protected me several times when I get my notebook connected to several wireless lan.  :)

On or Off, are really all you need worry about (No difference in sensitivity), leave it as the default setting, unless you want to disable the Show warning messages or logging.
