Showing and hiding informational alerts
Informational alerts notify you when events occur that do not
pose threats to your computer's security. For example, if you
have set up Firewall Protection, an informational alert appears by
default whenever a program on your computer is granted access
to the Internet. If you do not want a specific type of informational
alert to appear, you can hide it. If you do not want any
informational alerts to appear, you can hide them all. You can
also hide all informational alerts when you play a game in
full-screen mode on your computer. When you finish playing the
game and exit full-screen mode, SecurityCenter starts displaying
informational alerts again.
If you mistakenly hide an informational alert, you can show it
again at any time. By default, SecurityCenter shows all
informational alerts.
