Network Lock?
« on: February 24, 2011, 01:55:22 AM »
What is Network Lock and what does it do? Yes, I upgraded to AIS. I know what most of what AIS does. It's just that some things are new to me. I have learned to run my browser in the sandbox (it's safer there). Since upgrading I have found that AIS has more to offer than "free". I like "more"!

When you turn on Network Lock, you disable all network communication.

Any and all traffic coming in or out of your computer.  It's basically like taking the cable out of your network card (or wall jack) or disabling your wireless connection.

It means that no network communication will be passed to/from your computer.
