Anti-Spyware

Anti-Spyware Profiles are available only in Policy Mode.

An Anti-Spyware is a spyware protection, designed to detect, prevent, and remove spyware and adware infections. An Anti-Spyware actively scans inbound and outbound traffic from e-mails, websites, and downloaded files to block spyware from entering the system.

The detection works based on a Security Policy defined on POLICY | Rules and Policies > Security Policy page. For more information, refer to SonicOS 7.1 Rules and Policies Administration Guide for Policy Mode.

From the Anti-Spyware page, you can:

  • View all SonicWall spyware signatures from Anti-Spyware Objects tab.
  • Enable or disable SonicWall spyware signatures from Anti-Spyware Objects tab.
  • Create category profiles on a signature by signature basis to configure the handling of those signatures from Anti-Spyware Profiles.

    Anti-Spyware Profiles are signatures grouped together based on attributes such as types of attack.
