2. Click the Nessus Agents tab.

   The list of agents appears and Linked Agents is selected in the drop-down box.

3. In the drop-down box, select Freeze Windows.

4. Click New Freeze Window.

   The New Freeze Window plane appears.

5. Configure the options as necessary.

6. Click Save.

   The freeze window is saved and appears on the Freeze Windows psge.
