Web filtering
Malware is often distributed by malicious or infected sites and uses the so called "Drive-by
download" method of infection.
Web filtering helps to protect you from potentially harmful websites and untrusted web resources by
blocking the access when you try to open them. To determine which websites are potentially harmful,
Web filtering uses the Protection updates database. The Web filtering database also includes
information about websites that contain fake news, scam, and phishing URLs. You can modify the
rules defined in the database by configuring exclusions to the Web filtering list.
Easily configure URL exclusions through the product interface.
Web filtering has two modes of operation:
 Complete block—the access to the website will be completely blocked.
 Notify only—a notification will be displayed, but users will be able to access the website.

 Automatically recover files after blocking a process – Though a process was blocked, there is
still a possibility that your files were modified. If this check box is selected, Acronis True
Image 2021 recovers the files as follows.
Acronis True Image 2021 searches the following locations for the latest file versions to
recover.
 Temporary file copies that were preliminarily created during the process verification
 Local backups
 Cloud backups
If Acronis True Image 2021 finds a good temporary copy, the file is restored from that copy. If
temporary file copies are not suitable for restore, Acronis True Image 2021 searches for
backup copies locally and in the cloud, compares the creation dates of the copies found in
both locations, and restores your file from the latest available unmodified copy.
Note Acronis True Image 2021 does not support file recovery from password-protected backups.
 Protect backup files from ransomware – Acronis True Image 2021 will protect its own
processes and your backups and archives from ransomware.
