At the time of writing, the ZyWALL can use content filtering, anti-spam, anti-virus and IDP

(Intrusion Detection and Prevention) subscription services.

Content filtering allows or blocks access to web sites. Subscribe to category-based content

filtering to block access to categories of web sites based on content. Your ZyWALL accesses

an external database that has millions of web sites categorized based on content. You can have

the ZyWALL block, block and/or log access to web sites based on these categories.

Anti-spam identifies and marks or discards spam e-mail. An anti-spam subscription lets the

ZyWALL check e-mail with an external anti-spam server.

Anti-virus allows the ZyWALL to scan packets for computer viruses and deletes the infected

IDP allows the ZyWALL to detect malicious or suspicious packets and respond immediately.

The ID&P and anti-virus features use the same signature files on the ZyWALL to detect and

scan for viruses. After the service is activated, the ZyWALL downloads the up-to-date

signature files from the update server (http://myupdate.zywall.zyxel.com).
