TotalSecure Configuration Task List

Anti-Spyware Global Settings - provides the key settings for enabling SonicWALL Anti-Spyware on your SonicWALL security appliance, specifying global SonicWALL Anti-Spyware protection based on three classes of spyware, and other configuration options.

Anti-Spyware Policies - allows you to view SonicWALL Anti-Spyware signatures and configure the handling of signatures by category groups or on a signature by signature basis. Categories are signatures grouped together based on the type of attack.

Caution You must enable and configure SonicWALL Anti-Spyware on the SonicWALL management interface before anti-spyware policies are applied to your network traffic.

Enabling SonicWALL Anti-Spyware

SonicWALL Anti-Spyware must be globally enabled on your SonicWALL security appliance. Select the the Enable Anti-Spywarecheck box (a checkmark is displayed), and then click Apply.

Checking the Enable Anti-Spywarecheck box does not automatically start SonicWALL Anti-Spyware protection. You must also specify a Prevent All action in the Signature Groups table to activate Anti-Spyware on the SonicWALL security appliance, and then specify the zones you want to protect on the Network > Zones page. You can also select Detect All for spyware event logging and alerting.

To disable Anti-Spyware, uncheck the Enable Anti-Spywarecheck box. This will prevent blocking of traffic that matches the Anti-Spyware signatures. However, some signatures belong to Application Filter category sets as well as other types of category sets such as GAV, IPS, Anti-Spyware, or Web Filters. If Application Filtering is enabled, these signatures are blocked by the Application Filter process even when you configure the other filters to allow them.
