Web reputation
technology tracks the credibility of web domains by assigning a reputation
score based on factors such as a website's age, historical location changes
and indications of suspicious activities discovered through malware behavior
analysis. It will then continue to scan sites and block users from accessing
infected ones.
OfficeScan clients send
queries to smart protection sources to determine the reputation
of websites that users are attempting to access. A website’s reputation
is correlated with the specific web reputation policy enforced on
the computer. Depending on the policy in use, the OfficeScan client will either
block or allow access to the website.

Add websites that you consider safe or dangerous to the approved
or blocked list. When an OfficeScan
client detects
access to any of these websites, it automatically allows or blocks
the access and no longer sends a query to smart protection sources.
