You can do the following to configure Web Anti-Virus:

  • Change web traffic security level.

    You can select one of the pre-installed security levels for web traffic that is received or transmitted via the HTTP and FTP protocols, or configure a custom web traffic security level.

    If you change the web traffic security level settings, you can always revert to the recommended web traffic security level settings.

  • Change the action that Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs on malicious web traffic objects.

    If analysis of an HTTP object shows that it contains malicious code, the response by Web Anti-Virus depends on the action that you have specified.

  • Configure Web Anti-Virus scanning of URLs against databases of phishing and malicious web addresses.
  • Configure use of heuristic analysis when scanning web traffic for viruses and other malicious programs.

    To increase the effectiveness of protection, you can use heuristic analysis. During heuristic analysis, Kaspersky Endpoint Security analyzes the activity of applications in the operating system. Heuristic analysis can detect threats for which there are currently no records in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases.

  • Configure use of heuristic analysis when scanning web pages for phishing links.
  • Optimize Web Anti-Virus scanning of web traffic that is sent and received via the HTTP and FTP protocols.
  • Create a list of trusted URLs.

    You can create a list of URLs whose content you trust. Web Anti-Virus does not analyze information from trusted URLs for viruses or other threats. This option may be useful, for example, when Web Anti-Virus interferes with downloading a file from a known website.

    A URL may be the address of a specific web page or the address of a website.
