3. Select Scanning Options
Select the type of traffic you want BitDefender to scan.
● Scan Web (HTTP traffic) - scans the HTTP (web) traffic and blocks the
outgoing data that matches the rule data.
● Scan e-mail (SMTP traffic) - scans the SMTP (mail) traffic and blocks the
outgoing e-mail messages that contain the rule data.
● Scan IM (Instant Messaging) traffic - scans the Instant Messaging traffic
and blocks the outgoing chat messages that contain the rule data.
You can choose to apply the rule only if the rule data matches whole words or if
the rule data and the detected string case match.
4. Describe Rule
Enter a short description of the rule in the edit field. Since the blocked data
(character string) is not displayed in plain text when accessing the rule, the
description should help you easily identify it.
Click Finish. The rule will appear in the table.
From now on, any attempt to send the specified data (through e-mail, instant
messaging or over a web page) will fail. An alert message will be displayed indicating
that BitDefender has blocked identity specific content from being sent.
