protection service is turned on. It will check for potentially
unwanted programs during on-access and on-demand scans.

other firewall protection options do not appear on this page.

If you allow users to configure their settings, it is important to
educate them about threats and strategies for avoiding intrusions.

not be secure, such as an airport or hotel network. The firewall
protection service should block communications from IP addresses
on that network.
