CHECKING URLS IN EMAIL MESSAGES
Anti-Spam can check the URLs in mail messages to identify the ones included in the lists of suspicious web addresses or
phishing web addresses. These lists are included in the product package of Kaspersky Internet Security. If you
participate in Kaspersky Security Network (on page 174), Kaspersky Internet Security also accesses Kaspersky Security
Network when checking URLs. If a phishing or suspicious link is detected in a message, or if phishing elements are
detected in the message body, this message is identified as spam.
To check URLs in email messages, you can also use the heuristic analysis.
To enable URL checks using the databases of suspicious and phishing addresses:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Anti-Spam component.
3. Click the Settings button in the right part of the window.
The Anti-Spam window will be displayed.
4. On the Exact methods tab in the Consider message as spam section, check the If it contains URLs from
the database of suspicious URLs and If it contains phishing elements boxes.
To enable heuristic analysis:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Anti-Spam component.
3. Click the Settings button in the right part of the window.
The Anti-Spam window will be displayed.
4. On the Exact methods tab, in the Consider message as spam section, click the Additional button.
5. In the Anti-Phishing settings window that opens, check the Use Heuristic Analysis to check mail for
phishing box and set a scan detail level using the slider.
DETECTING SPAM BY PHRASES AND ADDRESSES. CREATING LISTS
You can create lists of allowed, blocked and obscene key phrases, as well as lists of allowed and blocked sender
addresses and a list of your addresses. If these lists are used, Anti-Spam analyzes every message to check whether it
contains the phrases added to the lists, and it checks whether the addresses of the mail sender and recipients match the
records in the address lists. Once a sought phrase or address is found, Anti-Spam identifies the message as useful mail
or spam, depending upon which list contains the phrase or address.
The following mail will be recognized as spam:
messages containing blocked or obscene phrases with total weighting coefficient exceeding 100;
messages sent from a blocked address or not addressed to you directly.
