When an attack is detected, the connection is automatically blocked to ensure that your computer is safe. If the attack comes from a computer that has previously tried to access your computer by using another attack signature, it can activate AutoBlock. AutoBlock blocks all traffic between your computer and the attacking computer for a set amount of time. During this period, AutoBlock also blocks the traffic does not match an attack signature.


AutoBlock stops traffic between your computer and a specific computer. If you want to stop all traffic to and from your computer, you can use the Block All Network Traffic option.

If AutoBlock blocks a computer or computers that you need to access, you can turn off AutoBlock.
