SmartFilter and Spyware
What SmartFilter® can do for you:
- Prevent users from visiting sites that host/distribute Spyware
- Prevent previously installed Spyware from transmitting data
back to host servers
- See our Spyware technical paper for more information
With SmartReporter®, administrators can:
- Easily drill-down to see which users/machines have Spyware
installed and are attempting to transmit data back to host servers.
- Monitor machines that have had Spyware removed to ensure it
has been completely eliminated.
Why is SmartFilter’s Spyware coverage
superior?
- SmartFilter customers receive full Spyware coverage with their
basic subscription. No additional purchase of 'premium categories'
is required.
- Web Analysts do specialised searches and use custom tools
that continually crawl the Internet to harvest and categorize
suspect sites.
- Secure Computing also harvests sites from other third-party
sources and experts dedicated to identifying Spyware.
- Secure Computing uses ‘honeypot’ and ‘sandbox’ computer labs
that allow us to find and test URLs to verify that they host
Spyware and other kinds of harmful code
- Spyware is a world-wide threat. Our multi-lingual Web Analyst
team brings a wealth of technical expertise and cultural diversity
that’s unmatched in the industry. Our Control List coverage
spans more than 60 different languages.
- Real-time updates help ensure customers have the most up-to-date
protection.
In addition to comprehensive coverage with the
Spyware category, the SmartFilter database also provides strong
coverage in other areas that are known to host Spyware. Since Spyware
applications can rapidly appear and disappear from sites, broad
coverage in the following areas helps to provide additional coverage:
- P2P
- Malicious Sites
- Web Ads
- Shareware/Freeware
- Resource Sharing
- Pornography
Note: While Spyware can be found
on a variety of sites, pornography sites are notorious for hosting
Spyware. SmartFilter has very extensive coverage in its pornography
category and, as a result, provides added protection from Spyware.
