Network Shield
« on: April 06, 2011, 06:52:46 PM »
Hi,

I have got a question: what protocols are scanned in Network Shield module? Can you give more information about Network Shield, becouse I can't find any information in documentations.

Regards,
Robert

edit. Sorry for bad board, please move my topic.

The network shield monitors ports known to be used for exploits and worm attacks, etc. It isn't a full firewall, more of an IDS on those specific ports.

It also blocks known malicious sites, this list is maintained in the virus definitions update.
