Change the Default Block Time

Whenever IWSVA detects an Internet threat in a client download, it will take the action configured for that type of threat (clean, delete, quarantine) and display a notification message in the client's browser.

IWSVA continues to block all subsequent requests for the same URL—organization wide—for a default of four hours. Those users will see a URL blocking notification.

To change the default post-event blocking time:

  1. Using a text editor, locate the parameter "infected_url_block_length" in the IWSVA configuration file:

    /etc/iscan/intscan.ini

  2. Specify a time, in hours, you want URL blocking to occur for a URL after IWSVA has detected an Internet threat at that URL.
