browsing habits and attempts to send the profile information home, the SonicWALL security

The SonicWALL Anti-Spyware Service provides the following protection:
• Blocks spyware delivered through auto-installed ActiveX components, the most common
vehicle for distributing malicious spyware programs.
• Scans and logs spyware threats that are transmitted through the network and alerts
administrators when new spyware is detected and/or blocked.
• Stops existing spyware programs from communicating in the background with hackers and
servers on the Internet, preventing the transfer of confidential information.
• Provides granular control over networked applications by enabling administrators to
selectively permit or deny the installation of spyware programs.
Prevents e-mailed spyware threats by scanning and then blocking infected e-mails transmitted
either through SMTP, IMAP or Web-based e-mail.
