There are programs that have valid reasons for accessing the network, such as Live Update. However, some programs can slow down your computer. This can become a problem if you have a slow Internet connection.
You can set permissions for programs that attempt to access the network. Changing a program’s status can limit or deny a program access to the Internet.
To change a network access status:
1 Click the Settings button.
2 Click Net Defense, then click the Application List tab.
3 Select the program and select an access level:
§ To always allow the program access to the network, select Allow.
§ To display a message that asks you if the program can access the network, select Ask.
§ To block the program from accessing the Internet, click Block.
4 When finished, click OK.
