Malware
Navigate to the sidebar menu: Protection > Policies and open a Standard Policy.
Overview
The Malware module is the first line of defense for your network. Upon creating a Standard Policy, you are redirected here by default. This section focuses on blocking active security threats rather than managing content permissions.
Interface Overview
The dashboard is organized into two main navigation areas to help you manage your security policy:
- Left Sidebar: Lists the specific security modules (e.g., Malware & Threats, Newly Registered Domains).
- Main Panel: Displays the specific protection rules contained within the selected group, along with their control toggles.
You may notice a Clock Icon next to each category toggle. This feature is designed to set time-based restrictions, allowing you to define specific time windows when the protection should be active.
Understanding the Modules
Different modules offer different levels of protection. Use this guide to decide which ones to enable.
Modules | Focus & Description |
|---|---|
Malware & Threats | Blocks confirmed threats like Ransomware, Phishing, Botnets, and Trojans. |
Malware & Threats Community | Crowd-sourced lists. Broader protection but higher risk of False Positives. |
Newly Registered Domains | Blocks domains registered in the last 24-48h to stop "Zero-Day" attacks. Trade-off: Might block legitimate new sites. |
Proxy Bypass Filters | Blocks Anonymizers and VPNs used to bypass your restrictions. |
Frauds and Dangerous Site | Blocks websites associated with online scams, fraudulent activities, and deceptive practices designed to trick users. |
Configuration & Logic
The filtering logic works with simple toggles:
- Toggle ON (Blue): The protection is ACTIVE.
- Toggle OFF (Grey): The protection is DISABLED.
- Enable All / Disable All: Located at the bottom-right of the panel. Checking this box instantly activates all protection categories in the current group.
Troubleshooting: If a safe site is blocked, do not disable the protection. Add the domain to your Exceptions (Allow List) instead.
