By default, the attacking computer will be blocked for 60 minutes. This

12.1.3. Anti-Publicity
Anti-Publicity blocks access to internet resources containing advertising
information such as popup windows.
Popup windows do not usually display useful information. These windows are
opened automatically when a web site is first loaded or when a hyperlink is
followed. They contain advertising and other information that you did nothing to
request. Anti-Publicity blocks these windows and displays a special balloon
message above the application icon in the system tray. This message may be
used directly to block or allow the popup.
Anti-Publicity is compatible with the Microsoft Internet Explorer popup blocker
bundled with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. The application installs a
browser plugin which controls the opening of popup windows in the browser
directly.
There are some web sites which use popup windows for faster and more
convenient navigation. If you access such sites frequently, and the information in
such popup windows is critical, we recommend that you add them to the trusted
site list. Popup windows at trusted sites will not be blocked.
When a popup is blocked during a Microsoft Internet Explorer session, the icon
is displayed in the browser status line. A popup may be unblocked or a site
added to the trusted list by clicking the icon.
By default, the Anti-Publicity module blocks the majority of automatic popup
windows. The exception is popup windows from websites on the trusted site list
in Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Intranet sites that you currently a part of.
