The relationship between Main tab settings and Alert Events tab settings

	The Alert Events Shown control, in the Main tab of Alerts & Logs, lets you control the display of Firewall Alerts and other alerts by rating. The High setting displays all alerts types, while the Medium setting displays only alerts probably caused by hacker activity. This control does not affect logging.
	The Alert Events tab gives you more detailed control of alert display, as well as logging. You can specify which types of Firewall alerts to display and log by type of traffic blocked.

Tip New Program alerts, and the other program alerts that require a "yes" or "no " response from you, are always displayed. You can control the logging of these alerts by using the Program Logs tab.
