To help keep yourself safe on the Internet at home
or on the go, you should mark both of these
checkboxes.
Mark the Activate the Firewall Booster to
enhance the protection given by the Windows
Firewall checkbox to configure the Windows
Firewall so that it can offer better protection against
online threats.
Mark the Display a warning when connected
to potentially unsafe wireless networks or
hotspots checkbox to see a warning if you connect
to a wireless network without trustworthy security
credentials.
Only password-protected wireless networks are
considered safe. Wireless networks that redirect
your connection without encryption are considered
risky. Wireless networks that do not have an
authentication process or a valid security certificate
rank as dangerous.
Your security software can protect you from links to
unsafe websites sent via popular instant
messaging programs.
Mark the Check for security risks in links to
websites received via instant messaging
programs checkbox and then enable the
protection for the instant messaging programs that
you use.
