  • From the main menu, select Configure > Tamper Protection.
  • The Tamper Protection window appears.
    • Select Enable Tamper Protection.
    • Select Block from the On violation drop-down list.
    • Click OK.


    Note: You can customize the message that displays when a threat is blocked. See the Symantec online help for details.
