Description |
Another added security provision for sites that make use of
HTTPS such as banking and e-commerce sites. Set it to Manual
and it will kick in when needed, although just to be on the
safe side I set it to Automatic. |

Is this service needed? |
Possibly |
Recommended Setting: |
Automatic |

Note |
Updated to reflect SP2 changes. (This service added with
SP2) |
