About the notification area icon

The agent has blocked traffic.

GREEN

About responding to the flashing icon

If you see a flashing icon, the endpoint may be responding to an attempted attack. When you rest your
mouse over the flashing icon, a tool tip appears telling you that you are under an attack.

To make the icon stop flashing, double-click the icon. The Security log opens, displaying a new log entry.
The icon stops flashing after one minute.
