Data Control : Internet Explorer Favorites : Transfer Request Blocked

PAGAN

Sophos Data Control Alert

I have setup Data Controls and whenever a User tries to use his IE8 favoritves he gets an alert.

.

I am trying to protect files from being moved, but this seems like a bug to me

How do I stop this from happening?

Transferring a file should not be the same thing as selecting the Favorites tool bar to click on a link you have there.

Data Control Rule

- For Any File Where the Type is :

Archive

Document

Encryption

Encryption - Sophos

Executable

Image

Presentation

Spreadsheet

Video

...........

Floppy Drive

Optical Drive

Removable Storage

Lotus Notes Client

Outlook

Outlook Express

Windows Mail

Microsoft Office Communicator

WebEx Connect

Firefox 1 + 2 + 3 + 4

Internet Explorer 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9

Adobe Flash File Uploader

    I did not realize that the favicon jump in IE was an image. Thanks for the reply

    .

    I removed the IMAGE File Type

    and that did take care of the IE Favorite Links

    .

    Now I assume I will have to create another Rule but have to adjust:  File NAME

    ... In here I would have to put every *.??? extension that I can come up with from our data file server

    it is a Temporary adjustment hopefully

    .

    Will Sophos identify this 'bug' and deal with it as it deals with other Data Control issues ?

    (i guess this could be a loaded question :smileysurprised:)

    I should ask ... will this problem with the IE favorites be identified as a problem and remedied?

    If not then no one will be using IMAGE file type for Data Control
