Define the difference between an open network and a closed network?
There are two kinds of 'household networks', Open and Closed. Open networks can be joined by anyone at anytime. Closed networks require permission to join. When you attempt to join a closed network, a notice is sent to the Closed Network's administrator requesting that you be allowed to join. That person will respond either accepting or denying your request. (remember, once you've joined a network, you cannot leave that network for 30 days - security reasons).

What malicious code?
Code that's intended to damage a computer or steal information. The technical name for a virus, also known as malware (short for malicious software.) Vandals are a new breed of malicious code that cannot be efficiently controlled by conventional antivirus software alone. In contrast to viruses that require a user to execute a program in order to cause damage, vandals are auto-executable applications. Malicious code can take the form of: * Java Applets * ActiveX Controls * Scripting languages * Browser plug-ins * Pushed content Once inside your network or workstation malicious code can enter network drives and propagate. They can also cause network and mail server overload by sending email messages, stealing data and passwords, deleting document files, email files or passwords, and even re-formatting hard drives. eSafe protects your network from malicious code at the first point of entry into your network: the internet gateway.
