  4. Automatically close conflicting applications: With this option selected, VZAccess Manager will automatically close any application it recognizes that is known to prevent it from working correctly. For example, it may close the client software that was supplied with your Wi-Fi card, if it's known to conflict with VZAccess Manager controlling your Wi-Fi card.
