Lists of URLs that fall into these categories are provided with Dr.Web for Linux and are updated automatically upon virus database update. Users do not have permissions to edit the lists. |
The same website can fall into several categories. If so, SpIDer Gate blocks access to it if the URL is included at least in one of the selected lists.
If you need to block access to an website which does not fall into any of these categories, add it to the user black list. If, alternatively, you need to allow access to a blocked website which is included in one of the above mentioned black lists, add it to the user white list.
|
There is also a special category of websites – "Websites with unreliable content". Access to them is always blocked, even if such resources are added to the user white list. |
Managing black and white lists of websites
To configure user black and white lists, click the Black and white lists button.

In the open window, you can specify categories of malicious objects to be blocked on attempt to download them from the Internet. If a check box is selected, files that fall into this category are rejected. If a check box is cleared, files that fall into this category are allowed for downloading. Also you can set the maximum time to scan one downloaded file. If the option to Block unchecked files is selected, files that were not checked due to an error are blocked and cannot be downloaded. To allow download of such files, clear this check box (not recommended).
|
If downloaded file scanning failed because the interval for performing this operation expired, such file will not be treated as unchecked and will not be blocked even if the Block unchecked files check box is checked. |
To apply the changes and close the window, click OK. To discard the changes and close the window, click Cancel.
