•HTML application (*.hta)
•Microsoft Office files (*.doc, *.ppt, *.xl?)
•Microsoft Works files (*.wps)
•Visual Basic files (*.vb?)
•screen saver files (*.scr)
Blocking files in firewall traffic
Use content profiles to apply file blocking to HTTP, FTP, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP traffic controlled by firewall policies.
1Select file blocking in a content profile.
See “Adding a content profile” on page 197.
2Add this content profile to firewall policies to apply content blocking to the traffic controlled by the firewall policy.
See “Adding a content profile to a policy” on page 199.
Adding file patterns to block
1Go to Anti-Virus > File Block.
2Select New.
3Type the new pattern in the File Pattern field.
You can use an asterisk (*) to represent any characters and a question mark (?) to represent any single character. For example, *.dot blocks Microsoft Word template files and *.do? blocks both Microsoft Word template files and document files.
4Select the check box beside the traffic protocols for which you want to enable blocking of this file pattern.
5Select OK.
