Adding a record to the white list

To add a record to the white list:

  1. In the main window of the program web interface, select the Settings tab, White List section.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the program web interface window, click the Add button.

    The New rule window opens.

  3. In the Rule type drop-down list, select one of the following criteria for adding a record to the white list:
    • MD5.
    • Format
    • URL mask
    • Email.
    • Subnet mask.
    • User Agent.
  4. If you selected Format, select the file format that you want to add from the Value drop-down list.

    For example, you can select the MSOfficeDoc format.

  5. If you selected MD5, URL mask, Email, User Agent or Subnet mask, enter the value of the relevant criterion that you want to add to the white list in the Value field.
    • If you selected MD5, enter the MD5 hash of the file in the Value field.
    • If you selected URL mask, enter the URL mask in the Value field.

      You can use the following special characters in the mask:

      * – any sequence of characters.

      Example:

      If you enter *abc* as the mask, the program considers as safe any URL that contains the sequence abc. For example, www.example.com/download_virusabc

      ? – any single character.

      Example:

      If you enter example_123?.com as the mask, the program considers as safe any URL that contains the given character sequence and any character following 3. For example, example_1234.com

      If the * or ? characters are part of the full URL that you want to add to the white list, use the \ character when entering the URL to cancel a single *, ? or \ character that follows it.

      Example:

      You need to add the following URL as a trusted address: www.example.com/download_virus/virus.dll?virus_name=

      You do not want the program to treat ? as a special mask character so you put a \ character before the ? character.

      The URL added to the white list looks as follows: www.example.com/download_virus/virus.dll\?virus_name=

    • If you selected Email, enter the email address in the Value field.
    • If you selected User Agent, enter the User agent header of HTTP requests containing browser information in the Value field.
    • If you selected Subnet mask, enter the subnet mask in the Value field. For example, 255.255.255.0

    In the URL mask and Email field, you can enter domain names containing Cyrillic characters. In this case, the address is converted to Punycode and processed in accordance with program settings.

  6. Click the Add button.

The record will be added to the white list.
