Untangle Spyware Blocker

Is your IT guy spending too much time going from machine to machine getting rid of spyware only to have it show up again a week later?

The battle with spyware is constant, and its infection is insidious—you may not even know you have it until it’s doing real damage to your network. Weird settings, an abundance of pop-up ads (even when you’re not on the Web), clicking hyperlinks that don’t work and a sluggish system are just a few of the symptoms to look out for.

Stop spyware, adware and malware before it makes it to your network—and find already infected computers with our powerful Spyware Blocker. We use a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, including URL blocking, cookie blocking, ActiveX blocking of bad vendors and subnet logging, to protect you from attacks and infections.

Key Features:

• Manage your Block and Pass Lists
• Special “request pass” button makes it easy for a user when blocked to request the site to be white listed at the administrator's discretion
• Event log shows real-time spyware detected and blocked
• Reports track violations in summary, detail, and by user

Spyware Blocker Technical Specifications

Spyware Blocker examines web requests from your protected network, and does the following:

• Uses virus signatures to detect and identify specific viruses
• Prevents keyloggers, a computer program that captures and stores the keystrokes of a computer user
• Provides a URL blacklist to block known spyware websites (for example, gator.com)
• Provides a URL blacklist to block websites that require cookies
• Blocks harmful ActiveX controls that are known to be spyware applications
• Examines the IP addresses of websites that users visit, and compares those IP addresses against a list of offending subnets

In the unusual event that members of your organization visit a legitimate website that Spyware Blocker deems malicious, the Untangle Server's interface enables you to create exception rules to remove this website from Spyware Blocker's blacklist. In addition, the Quick-Passlist feature can be enabled to allow uses to temporarily or permanently unblock sites.

What It Does:

Transparent HTTP scanning on any port, list –based filtering of URLs, subnets, cookies and ActiveX controls

How It Does It:

Uses dozens of custom-tuned community blacklists in addition to Untangle's Virus Blocker technology, based on ClamAV

Controls:

• Customizable blocklists for cookies, subnets and ActiveX
• Customizable URL/domain passlist
• Quick-Passlist feature: at administrator option, users can unblock sites when they receive a spyware warning in their browser
• Can be configured to allow either temporary, per-user unblocking
• Or global, permanent unblocking
