SonicWALL TZ 180 TotalSecure
• 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-Spyware check box (a checkmark is displayed), and then click Apply.
Checking the Enable Anti-Spyware check 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-Spyware check 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.
