Interpretation and response

The Windows browser service could not retrieve a list of domains from the browser master. Review the related network and service events.

An OSSEC/HIDS event records or correlates activity. Blocking depends on the originating application and any separately configured Active Response policy; an alert alone does not prove that an attack was blocked.

The archived grsecurity system-time-change explanation refers to an earlier use of this ID.
