The General module provides information on the Acronis Internet Security activity
and the system. Here you can also change the overall behavior of Acronis Internet
Security.
To configure the general settings:
1. Open Acronis Internet Security, click Options in the upper-right corner of the
window and choose Expert View.
2. Go to General > Settings.
Enable password protection for product settings - enables setting a password
in order to protect the Acronis Internet Security configuration.
Note
If you are not the only person with administrative rights using this computer, it is
recommended that you protect your Acronis Internet Security settings with a
password.
Type the password in the Password field, re-type it in the Retype password
field and click OK.
Once you have set the password, you will be asked for it whenever you want to
change the Acronis Internet Security settings. The other system administrators
(if any) will also have to provide this password in order to change the Acronis
Internet Security settings.
If you want to be prompted for the password only when configuring Parental
Control, you must also select Apply password protection to parental control
settings only. On the other hand, if a password was set only for Parental Control
and you uncheck this option, the respective password will be requested when
configuring any Acronis Internet Security option.
Important
If you forgot the password you will have to repair the product in order to modify
the Acronis Internet Security configuration.
Ask me if I want to create a password when I enable Parental Control -
prompts you to configure a password when you want to enable Parental Control
and no password is set. By setting a password, you will prevent other users with
administrative rights from changing the Parental Control settings that you
configured for a specific user.
Show Acronis Internet Security News (security related notifications) -
shows from time to time security notifications regarding virus outbreaks, sent by
the Acronis Internet Security server.
