Configuring Web Traffic (HTTP) Scanning

5.7.1

HTTP Scanning Configuration Settings

Web Traffic Scanning can be used to protect the computer against viruses
in HTTP traffic. When enabled, it scans HTML files, image files,
downloaded applications or executable files and other types of
downloaded files. It removes viruses automatically from the downloads.
You can also enable a notification flyer that is shown to the end-user
every time Web Traffic Scanning has blocked viruses in web traffic and
downloads.
This section describes the Web Traffic Scanning settings and also
presents some practical configuration examples.
To enable HTTP scanning, select the Enable HTTP scanning check box.
From the Action on infection drop-down list you can select what to do
when an infection is found in HTTP traffic. The actions available are:
Block blocks access to the infected file.
Report Only ignores the infection but reports it to the
administrator.
From the Action on scanning failure drop-down list you can select what to
do if a file in HTTP traffic cannot be scanned. This setting is used, for
example, when handling password-protected archives. The actions
available are:
Block blocks the file that could not be scanned.
Report Only ignores the file but reports it to the administrator.
Select the Scan inside compressed files check box to scan inside
compressed ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, CAB, TAR, BZ2, GZ, JAR and TGZ
files.
You can specify a list of trusted servers in the Trusted HTTP Sites table.
The content of the trusted sites will not be scanned for viruses.
