About this tag
Network Access Protection (NAP) is a Windows feature that enforces health policies for client computers connecting to a network. In Windows 7, the NAP Agent service can be turned off, which may appear as a security flag in Control Panel. Users on home networks with mixed wired and wireless setups may wonder whether to enable this service.

To enable it, you can start the Network Access Protection Agent service via the Services management console.
