Through Threat protection it is possible to block, through certain modes, those that are *malware-carrying sites, suspicious domains and more*. The flexibility allows the user various and customized solutions with features that characterize filtering making it convenient and practical.

## Macrocategory Customization 

The filter has macrocategories with subcategories of hazards more specifically within them.

The *entire macrocategory* can be locked to not allow any of the categories below it to pass through the filter by clicking on the gray *"Always Lock"* circle.

## Category Customization 

Ability to extend the group, *individually blocking each category as desired*, thus having more freedom with respect to content.


In case there are individual items within a macrocategory that are blocked and others are not, graphically a green half-circle under "*always allowed*" and a red half-circle under "*always blocked*" will be displayed, indicative of a customized category filter.

## Scheduling Blocks 

Ability to schedule blocks and elements, prohibiting access to certain content only within a *time slot, fully customizable by the user* by selecting start time, end time, and filter repetition.

Clicking "*insert*" will apply the filter as desired, and the icon shown from the menu will take the form of a yellow clock in the block scheduling part.
