The WebGuard section of the Configuration is responsible for the configuration of the

WebGuard.

13.5.1 Scan

WebGuard protects you against viruses or malware that reaches your computer from

web pages that you load on your web browser from the Internet. The Scan heading can be

used to set the behavior of the WebGuard component.

Scan

Enable WebGuard

If this option is enabled, the web pages you request using an Internet browser are

scanned for viruses and malware. WebGuard monitors the data transferred from the

Internet using the HTTP protocol at ports 80, 8080, 3128. If any affected web pages are

detected, the loading of the web pages is blocked. If this option is disabled, the

WebGuard service is still started, but the scan for viruses and malware is disabled.

Note

To use the parental control function you must enable WebGuard.

Drive-by protection

Drive-by protection allows you to make settings to block I-Frames, also known as inline

frames. I-Frames are HTML elements, i.e. elements of Internet pages that delimit an

area of a web page. I-Frames can be used to load and display different web content -

usually other URLs - as independent documents in a sub-window of the browser. I-

Frames are mostly used for banner advertising. In some cases, I-Frames are used to

conceal malware. In these cases the area of the I-Frame is mostly invisible or almost

invisible in the browser. The Block Suspect I-Frames option allows you to check and block

the loading of I-Frames.

Block suspicious I-frames

If this option is enabled, I-Frames on the web pages you request are scanned according to

certain criteria. If there are suspect I-Frames on a requested web page, the I-Frame is

blocked. An error message is displayed in the I-Frame window.

Default

If this option is enabled, I-Frames with suspect content is blocked.

Advanced

If this option is enabled, I-Frames with suspect content and I-Frames used in a

suspicious way are blocked. The use of I-Frames is considered suspect if the I-Frame is

very small and is therefore invisible or almost invisible in the browser of if the I-Frame is

placed in an unusual position on the web page.

13.5.1.1. Action on detection

Action on detection
