the SonicWALL. Select Websense Enterprise from the Content Filter Type menu.
Customization of the Content Filter List is not available if you select Websense as your source for

Restrict Web Features

Select any of the following applications to block:
Block:
• ActiveX
ActiveX is a programming language that embeds scripts in Web pages. Malicious programmers
can use ActiveX to delete files or compromise security. Select the ActiveX check box to block
ActiveX controls.
• Java
Java is used to download and run small programs, called applets, on Web sites. It is safer than
ActiveX since it has built-in security mechanisms. Select the Java check box to block Java
applets from the network.
• Cookies
Cookies are used by Web servers to track Web usage and remember user identity. Cookies can
also compromise users' privacy by tracking Web activities. Select the Cookies check box to
