SecureAnywhere for Mac User Guide Managing shields As you surf the Internet, the shields automatically block and quarantine any threats that attempt to download and run on your Mac. If a shield detects an item that it classifies as a potential threat or an item it does not recognize, it opens an alert. The alert asks if you want to allow the item to run or if you want to block it. If you aren't sure what to do, we recommend blocking the file. SecureAnywhere includes two types of shields: Realtime shield. Controls how threats are blocked and quarantined on your Mac. Web Threat shield. Protects your system as you surf the Internet. The shields are preconfigured, based on our recommended settings. You do not need to configure any settings yourself unless you are an advanced user and would like to modify shield behavior.

SecureAnywhere for Mac User Guide Changing Realtime shield settings The Realtime shield controls how threats are blocked and quarantined on your Mac. Webroot already configured this shield with our recommended settings, but you can adjust them if you want. The following table describes the shield options: Realtime shield settings Automatically quarantine previously blocked files Automatically block suspected threats when detected on execution Scan files when written or modified Block threats automatically if no user is logged in Monitor keyboard activity for keyloggers Monitor services running on the system Sends an application file to quarantine if you had blocked and quarantined that file before. If you deselect this option, SecureAnywhere launches a scan if it detects the file again. Opens a notification if you attempt to launch an application that might be a threat. SecureAnywhere then scans the directory where the application resides. When the scan completes, it gives you the option of quarantining the items or allowing them to remain in their current locations. Scans any new or modified files that you save to disk. If this option is deselected, it ignores new file installations. Stops threats from executing, even when you are logged off. Threats are sent to quarantine without notification. Prevents keyloggers from capturing keystrokes. A keylogger is a type of system monitor that can record all keystrokes on your Mac. Keyloggers may be used for legitimate purposes, but can also be installed without your knowledge and used to record sensitive information. Monitors the folders of system services running on your Mac, and protects against unwanted activity. If SecureAnywhere detects changes in the folders, it opens an alert to notify you of the change and allows you to block future warnings for the application that made the change. System services are programs that load automatically either as part of an application's startup process or the operating system startup process. Services are often a target for malware developers. - 30 -

If necessary, restart Safari so the changes can take effect. - 35 -
SecureAnywhere for Mac User Guide Using Web Threat protection To detect websites associated with potential threats, the Web Threat shield analyzes URLs (web addresses) as follows: When you enter the URL for a website or click a link to a site, SecureAnywhere runs the URL through its malware-identification engine. If the site is associated with malware, the Web Threat shield blocks the site from loading in your browser. When you use a search engine, SecureAnywhere analyzes all links displayed on the search results page by running the URLs through its malware-identification engine. It then displays an image next to each link that signifies its risk level. For example, if a site is known for spreading malware infections, the Web Threat shield displays a warning next to the link. For Web Threat protection to work, make sure that the Web Threat shield is enabled, as described in "Changing Web Threat shield settings" on page 33. You can also determine if it's enabled by looking for the W button in the Safari taskbar: Surfing websites If you attempt to access a website that is associated with a known threat, phishing attempts, or exhibited some questionable behavior, the Web Threat shield displays an alert before the website loads. The alert displays in red if the site contains a known threat. It displays in yellow if the site is suspicious or unclassified. - 36 -
Shielding Your Mac We recommend that you navigate away from this page (close the browser tab or click your browser s Back button). However, if you still want to access the site despite the warning, click Proceed to blocked site. If you access this site frequently and don t want this alert to appear again, click the checkbox at the bottom: I know this site, don t warn me again. The Web Threat shield will then add the website to a trusted whitelist and will load the page directly the next time. Using search engines When you use a search engine, the Web Threat shield displays a rating next to the link for each search result. A green checkmark next to the web address indicates the site is safe to access. If the site is not classified as safe, the Web Threat shield displays a red hand, a yellow exclamation, or a gray question mark. You can click on the icon to read more about the threat classification: - 37 -

You do not need to delete items in quarantine, unless you want to preserve storage space. You can also restore an item from quarantine, if necessary. S scan Webroot's process of searching for potential threats on your computer, such as spyware and viruses. It then moves items to quarantine, where they are rendered inoperable. shield Webroot's method of guarding your system while you browse the Internet. If the shields detect spyware or other potential threats attempting to download, they respond in one of two ways. If the item is a threat, the shield moves it to quarantine. If the item is unknown or a potential threat, the shield opens an alert message that asks you to allow it or block it. spyware A program that may either monitor your online activities or install programs without your knowledge.
