[QUOTE="danb, post: 937584, member: 62850"] And that is exactly why I wanted to make it absolutely clear that it was not AutoPilot that allowed the attack, so that you were aware of this, and so you can change the setting to your liking. For most people, run VS on AutoPilot for a day or two, then switch to Smart or Always ON. The additional benefit of WLC is that it alerts you when an unknown item is running. Deny-by-default products will produce blocks from time to time. If they do not, they are not deny-by-default. [/QUOTE]
