WARNING!Please use extreme caution when changing the default actions. If you elect to automatically allow all suspected or known threats your overall protection will be greatly reduced. Likewise, if you automatically quarantine all suspected threats there is a possibility that legitimate programs may be affected (false positives).
These default alert actions only apply to ThreatFireÆs regular program alerts. Alerts for any custom rules you create through Advanced Tools will always prompt you to select the appropriate action.
