Pop-up Messages

0patch Agent can inform you about various events using pop-up messages. You can control which pop-up messages you wish to have displayed via 0patch Console's Settings page. In addition, you can instantly silence most pop-up messages by clicking the »crossed bell« icon in the upper right corner of every pop-up. This changes the Pop-up Settings to “Inform me only about important system events”. Note that a remotely managed agent (i.e., agent in an Enterprise account) does not display any pop-up messages.

Patch Data Received

The "Patch Data Received" message informs you that 0patch Agent has just received new patches from the 0patch server, and/or that some patches have been revoked.

0patch Agent has just received 301 new patches from the server

Patch Applied

The "Patch Applied" message informs you that a patch has just been applied to a process on your computer. The message tells you which process was patched and which patch was applied to it.

Patch 235 has just been applied to a running java.exe process

Patch Removed

The "Patch removed" message informs you that a patch has just been removed ("un-applied") from a process on your computer. The message tells you which patch was removed from which process.

Patch 235 has just been removed from a running java.exe process, likely due to it being disabled via Console

This usually occurs when:

• the patch was disabled via 0patch Console while the application it was applied to was running,
• the application was excluded from patching via 0patch Console while that application was running, or
• 0patch Agent was disabled via 0patch Console.

Patch Disabled

The "Patch disabled" message informs you that a patch would have been applied to a process on your computer - but wasn't because the patch is disabled. (You can use the Patches page in 0patch Console to enable the patch, which will immediately get it applied to the process.)

Patch 235 could be applied to the just-launched java.exe but wasn't because it is disabled

Application Excluded From Patching

The "Application excluded from patching" message informs you that an application has just been launched that is excluded from patching. This means that any patches that would normally have been applied to this application, were not applied. (You can use the Applications page in 0patch Console to "un-exclude" the application, which will immediately get all applicable patches applied to it.)

Firefox just got launched but patches won't be applied to it because it is excluded from patching

Patch Available

The "Patch available" message informs you that a patch would have been applied to a vulnerable process a moment ago, but there is no license for that patch in your 0patch Agent. You can fix that by purchasing a license.

Patch 4 would have been applied to vulnerable Acrobat Reader but there is no valid license for it

Important Patches Missing

The "Important Patches Missing" message informs you that one or more patches that are currently relevant on your computer are not getting applied because there is no license for them in your 0patch Agent. You can fix that by purchasing a license.

There are 36 patches that could be getting applied on your computer but there is no valid license for them

Exploit Blocked

The "Exploit blocked" message alerts you that one of the patches applied to processes running on your computers has detected an attack (also called "exploit") against the vulnerability it is patching. You don't have to do anything when this happens, as the attack was blocked by the patch.

An exploit attempt against vulnerability CVE-2013-2470 was blocked by patch 21 in Java runtime
