The following notifications can be enabled (box is checked) or disabled (box is not checked). They can also be separately configured to display for your desired number of seconds:

  • Detection signatures updates – When this box is checked a notification is displayed after a Malware signature update. Default is enabled, 10 seconds.
  • Application restarts – When this box is checked a notification is displayed when the program needs to restart (e.g. after a program version update). When unchecked, application restarts are performed automatically. Default is disabled, 20 seconds.
  • Required computer restarts – When this box is checked a notification is displayed when a computer restart is required (e.g. after certain program version updates). When unchecked, restarts are performed automatically. Default is enabled.
  • Browser Security verifications – When this box is checked, a notification is displayed asking you to install Emsisoft Browser Security. Default is enabled.

Email notifications

You configure email notifications at any time by clicking the Email notifications ‘Edit’ button.

• • Send an email on selected events – Select this option to enable email notifications to be automatically sent on the selected events in the events list. If you select a top level node only, like ‘Web Protection’, you will only receive Disabled/Enabled notifications for that specific guard.

Your mailbox parameters can then be configured by entering the appropriate details into the fields for Sender’s address, Recipients address, SMTP server and Port. If authentication is required, select the option SMTP Authentication, choose your desired setting ([Without TLS], [Implicit TLS), [Require TLS], or [Explicit TLS]) from the adjacent drop down menu and then enter your username and password into the appropriate fields.
