What can I expect from the real-time security agents?

When software is installed or a change is made to your protected computer, internet, or application settings, System Agents react to analyze the change, and either allow the change if it is known to be safe, block the change if it is known spyware, or prompt you for additional action.

When a Microsoft Security Agent prompts you for action, an alert window appears in the bottom right corner of your screen, which includes information concerning the change allowing you to make an informed decision about whether or not to allow the action to complete.
