Setting Up SonicWall Anti-Spyware Service Protection

After activating your SonicWall Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, and Intrusion Prevention Service license, the Security Services > Anti-Spyware page displays the configuration settings for managing the Anti-Spyware service on your SonicWall security appliance.

The Security Services > Anti-Spyware page is divided into three sections:

Anti-Spyware Status - displays status information on the state of the signature database and your SonicWall Anti-Spyware license.
Anti-Spyware Global Settings - provides the key settings for enabling SonicWall Anti-Spyware protection on your SonicWall security appliance, specifying global SonicWall Anti-Spyware protection based on three classes of attacks, and other configuration options.
Anti-Spyware Policies - allows you to view SonicWall Anti-Spyware signatures and configure the handling of signatures by product category groups or on a signature-by-signature basis. Product categories are signatures grouped together based on the type of attack.

After activating your Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, and Intrusion Prevention Service license, you must enable and configure SonicWall Anti-Spyware on the Security Services > Anti-Spyware page before anti-spyware prevention policies are applied to your network traffic.
