Block Ports
During outbreaks, block vulnerable ports that viruses/malware might use to gain access
to client computers.
WARNING! Configure Outbreak Prevention settings carefully. Blocking ports that are
in use makes network services that depend on them unavailable. For
example, if you block the trusted port, OfficeScan cannot communicate
with the client for the duration of the outbreak.
To block vulnerable ports:
PATH: NETWORKED COMPUTERS > OUTBREAK PREVENTION > START OUTBREAK PREVENTION
> B
