Event Details

Resolve

Per-user, moniker-based subscriptions are blocked.

The system reported that a subscription was attempted using a per-user moniker. The use of monikers is disabled by default. The use of monikers is a security risk. Using monikers will make your computer vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software. Therefore, for security reasons, per-user, moniker-based subscriptions are blocked.
