If there are users who on occasion need to temporarily turn off a Host Intrusion
Prevention feature to access a legitimate but blocked application or network site, for
example, they can use the Host Intrusion Prevention tray icon to disable a feature
without opening the client UI, which requires a password.
For details on using the tray icon menu, see System tray icon on page 133.

Show tray icon on the Display Options tab.

select any or all of the features to be disabled.
After the policy is applied to the client, the Host Intrusion Prevention icon appears
in the system tray, and its menu expands to include feature disabling and restoring
options. The disabled feature remains disabled until restored by the menu
command or a new policy with the feature enabled is pushed to the client.
