Events

The security events are a great source of information as they display the operations performed by RDS-Advanced Security to protect your computer.

The Events window can be opened from the RDS-Advanced Security main window, by clicking directly on the last 5 events displayed or on the Events tab. The information displayed on the Events window are refreshed automatically every few seconds.

The list of security events presents 4 columns, which describes the severity, the date of the check or performed operation, the associated feature icon and the description.

The Event window can be moved around and does not prevent you from using the other RDS-Advanced Security feature.
