Google Web Security for Enterprise Administration Guide

Spyware/Adware/Phishing Blocked (table): This table displays all the spyware,
adware and phishing incidents caught by the web security service for the given
time period. The table shows 100 entries at a time and orders them by most
recent. There are links at the bottom of the table to step back in lots of 100, until
you reach the very first virus caught by the web security service for the given time
period.

For each spyware instance caught, the table will display:

The date and time the spyware was blocked.

The reason it was blocked.

The internal IP address from within your organization that the request
originated.

The external IP address from which the request left your organization.

The URL of the requested file.

To set the monitoring period:

1.

Click the “Spyware” link.

2.

By default, the time period for the statistics displayed on the page is for the
last 24 hours. You can switch this to display weekly, monthly or yearly
statistics by clicking the corresponding buttons located just below the main
navigation bar at the top of the page.

3.

You can also sort the Spyware/Adware/Phishing Blocked table by clicking the
corresponding column title: Date, Reason Blocked, Internal IP, External IP
and URL.

Spyware Management

Spyware Management includes the Manage Approved List page.

Approved List

By default, all incoming Spyware is automatically blocked by the web security
service. If, for some reason, an administrator requires a specific spyware
application to be permitted, the administrator can “check” the program within the
list on the right side of the page. All adware is registered in this “Green List“ once
the web security service receives a request for its download. Therefore, it should
be noted that the Green List will expand with the scope of the organization’s web
traffic.
