Does Homeshield Basic Include Malicious Site Blocker and Intrusion Prevention

Model: Deco XE75

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Just upgraded my Deco network with XE75 units. Does Homeshield basic include both of the following without a subscription?

Malicious Site Blocker
Intrusion Prevention

The sites are very vague on this point. Not including them for free would give me the impression these routers don't provide basic firewall protection.

@Riley_S

Thanks for the info. A couple of follow-on questions:

With regards to malicious content filtering, what specifically does it do? How is it different from what McAfee/Norton does or what Windows/iOS build-in security features already do?
I'm confused on "intrusion prevention". By nature, isn't intrusion prevention what all routers do? How is "port intrusion prevention" different from what a router just does by the fact it is a router?

Thanks.... Kent
