Editing the settings used in blocking an attacking computer

To edit the settings for blocking an attacking computer:

1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
2. In the application settings window, select Essential Threat Protection → Network Threat Protection.
3. Select the Add the attacking computer to the list of blocked computers for check box.

   If this check box is selected, on detecting a network attack attempt, the Network Threat Protection component blocks network activity from the attacking computer for the specified amount of time. This automatically protects the computer against possible future network attacks from the same address.

   If this check box is cleared, on detecting a network attack attempt, the Network Threat Protection component does not enable automatic protection against possible future network attacks from the same address.

4. Change the amount of time during which an attacking computer is blocked in the field next to the Add the attacking computer to the list of blocked computers for check box.
5. Save your changes.
