    Hello:

    I like this product! But I have some simple questions (to some) as to how to mximize my security using this product.

    1) Can I effectively create a country blocking table in web access management using the list of blocked addresses? I think that this is possible

    I entered *.cn, BUT with no examples to copy I'm unsure if this is a correct entry. The software accepted the entry but again I have doubts.

    If this works I can enter ALL countries I wish to avoid on the www, no insult intended to any individual. I'm just trying to exploit the features.


    2) Reading the help, V4 seems to do everything a HIPS does am I right about that? If so how does it validate a program is legit to run just by seeing if it is Malware or by checking the file name, digital signature or the MD5 code?

    Again I applogize in advance for asking these questions.

    This seems to be part of the answer to my own HIPS on V4 question:

    Still don't know what type of validation logic Nod32 V4 imposes on executables.

    Your *.cn will block this www.chinadaily.com.cn, but it won't block http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2009-10/27/content_8852346.htm

    I have no idea how to get it to block a top level domain. I thought I'd asked this question before, but searching the forums leads me to believe that I imagined it. o_O

    (Edit: I knew I'd brought it up on the forum before; it was a request in a 'Future changes...' thread.)

    Well V4 did 1/2 of your post. It did block www.chinadaily.com.cn, but it allowed www.cnd.org.

    The * means according to the manual any string of characters. So I think I would need to block the second one some other way. I'm glad I'm not the only user who could benefit from this.

    How about adding these 3 filters:
    *.cn
    *.cn.*
    *.cn/*

    Nah, they won't work. You can't end with a forwardslash for some reason. o_O

    Thanks to you guys! Before we are done I will have learned how to program masks for V4.

    1) Do we need to put www. in front or does it matter? I've done a few but the SW grays out the www

    2) It would be good if we could load a set of addresses masks in?


    Yes, it worked here as well! When it blocks do you get a pop up or message?
    I'm in FF with pop ups blocked so I think I have to allow V4 to do pops!
    Nope ! I had the notify box unticked! whoa this is great learning! As soon as that was on I got a pop from V4

    re 1: I'd think generally no.

    re 2: You can export all your addresses and masks with the 'Export...' button.
    You can import them by clicking on the drop down arrow next to 'Add...' and select 'From File'.

    Note: In the case of *.cn/\* it will be exported as *.cn/*, so you'd need to manually edit that entry in the saved export file to *.cn/\*
