Re-enabling network monitoring notifications
Although you can disable networking monitoring notifications,
we don't recommend it. If you do so, we may no longer be able to
tell you when unknown computers or Intruders connect to your
network. If you inadvertently disable these notifications (for
example, if you select the
Do not show this alert again check
box in an alert), you can re-enable them at any time.
