NIS 2011 Network Security Map Question

Just updated to NIS 2011 18.5.0.125 from NIS 2010 and I have a question

 

under Network Security Map, when I click on another device (which I know is my other computer) there is a line that reads:

Excluded from IPS  Scanning  NO

 

Can somebody tell me what this means and why does it say NO by default. And how would I make it read YES if I wanted to exclude it from IPS scanning.? What is IPS scanning?

I know I have remote monitoring turned off and computer discovery turned off.

Thanks Kevin

 

FYI,

I have 2 computers and an xbox on my network
