  Site Rating   Proactive assisted real time content filtering   GFI 

WebMonitor checks URLs for adult content through the Yahoo! 

SafeSearch

TM

 categorization engine. Yahoo! SafeSearch

TM

 is an 

online database which classifies and categorizes various sites on 

the Internet. GFI WebMonitor queries this database to detect sites 

with adult content. With GFI WebMonitor and Yahoo! 

SafeSearch

TM

 database querying, your administrative overhead to 

keep your web filters up to date (with new adult sites opened) is 

obsolete.  

  Web Traffic Scanning   Scanning downloaded content via HTTP 

and FTP for viruses using one or more virus scanning engines. By 

default GFI WebMonitor supports three virus scanning engines; 

BitDefender, Kaspersky and Norman.  

  Real filetype signature check   GFI WebMonitor performs real 

filetype signature checks on all HTTP/FTP files being downloaded.  

Filetype signatures are a short series of bytes that define the true 

type and content of a file. GFI WebMonitor will detect and block 

dangerous/unauthorized files based on their filetype signature (i.e. 

blocking of documents or executables based on their file signature 

rather than on their declared file extension).  

  Automatic anti virus definition updates   GFI WebMonitor 

periodically checks and downloads new anti virus definitions for its 

virus scanning engine(s).  The frequency at which GFI 

WebMonitor checks for virus definition updates is customizable 

from GFI WebMonitor configuration interface.  

  Email Notifications   On the occurrence of important events, GFI 

WebMonitor will send out administrative alerts via email 

notifications to a target recipient. Important events include:  

  Failed updating of the virus definition files used by the virus 

scanning engine(s).  

  Approaching of anti virus license expiry.
