Abstract: Configuring a security application includes determining whether user preferences for the security application are pre-loaded in an information handling system (IHS) received by a user. If the user preferences have not been pre-loaded a request to receive the user preferences corresponding to the user and the security application is sent to a provider of the security application. The request includes a unique identifier for accessing the user preferences for the security application. The user preferences, which have been previously configured by the user for another IHS, are stored in a predefined format and are accessible to any requester providing the unique identifier. The provider provides the user preferences corresponding to the unique identifier.

Abstract: An alert queue module reduces presentation of alerts generated by applications running on an information handling system, such as system tray alerts, for selective subsequent viewing by an end user. For instance, inactive applications that are operating but not in focus at an information handling system display have their alerts suppressed unless the applications are on a white list of applications approved for presenting alerts. An icon presented at the display indicates that alerts have been suppressed and is selectable by an end user to present a list of suppressed alerts.
