Controlling Event Notification
Introduction You may find that you want regular access to more or less information than RealSecure
Desktop Protector shows by default. You can use the Desktop Protector configuration tabs
to control the following:

● how frequently Desktop Protector alerts you to potential risks
Filtering the Events
List
To filter events:
1. On the View menu, select Filter by Event Severity.
2. From the submenu, select the least severe events to display.
For example, if you select Suspicious, all suspicious, serious, and critical attacks
appear. If you select Informational, all intrusions appear.
Note: When the list is filtered, the Filter by Event Severity list shows only the severity
icons for the attacks. For example, if the list is filtered to show only serious and critical
attacks, the Suspicious and Informational icons do not appear.
