Table Of Contents
Show Wi-Fi Notifications - if you are connected to a wireless network, displays
informative windows regarding specific network events (for example, when a new
computer has joined the network).
Block port scans - detects and blocks attempts to find out which ports are open.
Port scans are frequently used by hackers to find out which ports are open on
your computer. They might then break into your computer if they find a less
secure or vulnerable port.
Enable strict automatic rules - creates strict rules using the firewall alert
window. With this option selected, Acronis Internet Security will prompt you for
action and create rules for each different process that opens the application
requesting network or Internet access.

To manage the firewall rules controlling applications' access to network resources
and Internet, open Acronis Internet Security and, depending on the user interface

on the left side of the window. Select the Programs tab in the new window

16.2.1. Viewing Current Rules
You can see the programs (processes) for which firewall rules have been created
in the table.
In Expert View, you can learn detailed information about each rule, as indicated by
the table columns. To see the rules created for a specific application, click the +
box next to the respective application. Clear the Hide system rules check box if
you want to also see the rules regarding the system or the Acronis Internet Security
processes.
Process/Network Types - the process and the network adapter types the rule
applies to. Rules are automatically created to filter network or Internet access
through any adapter. You can manually create rules or edit existing rules to filter
an application's network or Internet access through a specific adapter (for example,
a wireless network adapter).
