Viewing event details

The IPS Event Properties dialog box displays information about a selected event. Viewing this data can be useful to fine-tune the system, allowing you to create an exception or trusted application or to search for existing exceptions based on the event.

To view event details:

Double-click the event, or select the event and click Properties on the shortcut menu or the toolbar.

The IPS Event Properties dialog box appears with four tabs: General, Description, Advanced Details, and Summary. Click the Help in the dialog box for details.
