Web Security
Due to the potential high impact of security threats we have included a dedicated Web Security section to control website access based upon categorization (Malware Sites, Phishing and Other Frauds, Proxy Avoidance and Anonymizers etc).
Simply select the Security category or one of its sub-categories - this allows for a more granular approach to filtering - and opt to Allow, Block or Schedule (these Action options are also available by right-clicking on the category item).
Please be aware that when selecting an action for the Security category this setting is automatically applied to all of its children, although each individual sub-category can be amended as required.
For a brief explanation of each of the categories please visit the Categories section.
