Can you remove event counts for Inappropriate Website Control?

SamAnders

Hi,

Recently new to end point security and control version 10 and we have enabled the default policy for Inappropriate Website Control.

For the last couple of weeks we have been testing with some sites we know should be blocked and all works as per the policy however now that we want to roll this out to the end users is there a way to remove these event counts that have been used on some end users accounts during the testing period?

Would be a bit mean for us to enforce a report with some people already being flagged as visiting inappropriate websites they where part of the UAT testing....

Any suggestions? i have had a quick search in the forums but not been able to find any details (could be i am using the wrong search terms...)

Thanks in advance

Sam

    Thanks for the kudos, Sam.

    be able to delete their tracks

    Guess that's not the main reason. Being able to arbitrarily delete events and alerts means that you could inadvertently delete data you might be interested in later (only to find that they are gone for good). There is an interface (PurgeDB.exe) with which you can delete Web Events (but you can't select just Web Control though). While the example has no specific warning attached (there's the general Warning: You must ensure that the database is backed up before using this tool near the top) the description for -action=delete says: The "delete" action should only be used when specifically asked to do so by Sophos Technical Support.. So you might want ask Support to ask you to use it :smileywink:.
