    Automatic isolation and killing may cause false positives. You can choose Intrusion Detection > Events to view isolated malicious programs. You can cancel the isolation or ignore misreported malicious programs.

    Important

    • When a program is isolated and killed, the process of the program is terminated immediately. To avoid impact on services, check the detection result, and cancel the isolation of or unignore misreported malicious programs (if any).

    • If Isolate and Kill Malicious Programs is set to Disable on the Isolation and Killing of Malicious Programs tab, HSS will generate an alarm when it detects a malicious program.

      To isolate and kill the malicious programs that triggered alarms, choose Intrusion Detection > Events and click Malicious program.
