Kaspersky PURE User Guide - Kaspersky Lab

U S E R G U I D EAfter processing an email, Kaspersky PURE assigns a spam or probable spam status to the message based on a ratingwith an adjustable value. The Bat! has its own email rating algorithm for spam, also based on a spam rating. To preventdiscrepancies between spam rating in Kaspersky PURE and The Bat!, all messages checked in Anti-Spam are assignedthe rating corresponding to the message status: Not Spam email – 0%, Probable spam – 50%, Spam – 100%. Thus, theemail rating in The Bat! corresponds to the rating of the relevant status and not to the spam rate assigned in Anti-Spam.For more details on the spam rate and processing rules, see documentation for The Bat!.T H U N D E R B I R DBy default, email messages classified by Anti-Spam as spam or probable spam are marked with special labels [!! SPAM]or [?? Probable Spam] in the Subject field. If additional mail processing after Anti-Spam checks is required, you canconfigure Thunderbird having opened its configuration window from the Tools Message Filters menu (for moredetails about using the mail client see Mozilla Thunderbird Help).Thunderbird's Anti-Spam plug-in module allows training based on messages received and sent using this email clientapplication and checking your email correspondence for spam at the server. The plug-in module is integrated intoThunderbird and forwards messages to the Anti-Spam component for scanning when the Tools Run anti-spamfilters in folder menu command is being executed. Thus, Kaspersky PURE checks messages instead of Thunderbird.This does not alter the functionality of Thunderbird.The Anti-Spam plug-in module status is displayed as an icon in the Thunderbird status line. The gray color of the iconinforms the use that there is a problem in the plug-in operation or that the Anti-Spam component is disabled. Double-clickthe icon to open the Kaspersky PURE settings configuration window. To modify the Anti-Spam settings, click theSettings button in the Anti-Spam section.ANTI-BANNERAnti-Banner is designed to block banners on web pages you open and those in the interface of specified applications.Ads on banners may distract you from your business activity while banner downloads increase the amount of inboundtraffic.Before a banner is displayed on a web page or in an application's window, it should be downloaded from the Internet.Anti-Banner scans the address from which the banner is downloaded. If the address is associated to a mask from the listincluded with the Kaspersky PURE package, or from the list of blocked banners addresses you have compiled on yourown, Anti-Banner blocks the banner. To block banners with address masks not found in the mentioned lists, the heuristicanalyzer is used.Additionally, you can create a list of allowed addresses to determine which banners should be allowed for display.IN THIS SECTION:Enabling and disabling Anti-Banner .............................................................................................................................. 126Selecting the scan method ............................................................................................................................................ 127Creating the lists of blocked and allowed banner addresses......................................................................................... 127Exporting and importing the lists of addresses .............................................................................................................. 128ENABLING AND DISABLING ANTI-BANNERBy default, Anti-Banner is enabled, functioning in normal mode.
