Networked Computers > Outbreak Prevention > Start Outbreak Prevention
Specify outbreak prevention measures and then activate outbreak prevention when OfficeScan detects an outbreak on your network.
When you are sure that an outbreak has been contained, restore pre-outbreak settings.
Select the type of outbreak prevention measure. You can do the following:
Select the number of hours outbreak prevention will stay in effect. The default setting is 48 hours. You can manually restore your network settings before the outbreak prevention period expires.
Warning: OfficeScan does not allow outbreak prevention to remain in effect indefinitely. If you want to block or deny access to certain files, folders, or ports indefinitely, modify your computer and network settings directly instead of using OfficeScan.
Accept or modify the default client notification message.
Note: To configure OfficeScan to notify you during an outbreak, go to Notifications > Administrator Notifications > Outbreak Notifications.
Click Start Outbreak Notification.
