Responding to blocked traffic messages

Security messages display a message box when applications are blocked:

Blocked application message

An application that has been launched from your computer has
been blocked in accordance with rules set by your system
administrator. For example, you may see the following text:

Application Internet Explorer has been

blocked, file name is IEXPLORE.EXE.

These messages indicate that your agent has blocked traffic
that you have specified as not trusted. If the agent is operating
under Block All mode, these messages appear quite often. If
you are operating in Allow All mode, these messages do not
appear.

If you or the system administrator configures the agent to display a message when either the agent
blocks the endpoint from accessing an application or when an attack is launched, a message appears
above the notification area.

To respond to security messages

In the message box, click Do not show this window again.

Responding to permission status messages

If you or your system administrator have set an applications’ permission status to Ask or Block, a
message appears when an incoming application accesses your endpoint.

Table 4-1 Application permission status messages on page 14
