Attack Detection

Why the attack detection feature of McAfee Internet Security are all disabled as factory default, and why there is a warning recommending not to activate those settings at all?

Under web and e-mail protection folder.

Under firewall folder

Under Attack Detection there are 10 settings at least!

I presume if we purchased a firewall it needs to be active in all frontiers of attack for security and monitoring.

Looking to hearing from you.

Re: Attack Detection

Thanks a lot.

I do not know why someone would add a carburator on a car with electronic engine control system....In software they add things we do not need.
