Web Intelligence and cURL

Unknown Unknown1

Dear All,

The documentation for SAV 9.x states that the Web Intelligence service filters content for the platform's main browsers: Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. It does not mention other applications or services and, indeed, most of the apps I have looked into appear to connect directly to the Internet.

While toying with cURL this morning, I noticed that it is blocked by the Web Intelligence service, just like one of the supported browsers…

Is this by design? If so, where can we find a list of applications or services that are protected by the Web Intelligence bundle? What about other command-line tools, or Mail.app, for example?

    Thank you, Bob, for your kind reply, and for passing along the list. It is most appreciated!

    Yes, I beg of you not to make mail filtering mandatory. Fishing out emails that Sophos detects as malicious from the clutches of the Quarantine Manager is quite an atrocious experience, and I shudder at the thought of what would happen if the filtering were more agressive than the on-access scanner already is.

    Would it be possible for Sophos to add this list to the official documentation somewhere? I realise that it is getting increasingly difficult to document every single aspect of a large application like SAV 9.x, but a list of protected processes feels like it ought to be front and centre…
