Chapter 7. Office Control

Top  Previous  Next

Dr.Web Office Control helps limit user access to certain local resources and web sites.

This allows you to maintain integrity of important files and protect them from virus infection, as well as prevent unauthorized access to confidential data on your computer.

With Office Control you can protect files and folders stored on local disks or removable devices (as long as they are connected to the computer), as well as deny access to removable storages completely.

By controlling Internet access you can protect users from visiting websites which promote violence, gambling or other undesirable topics, or limit available websites to those which you list in Office Control settings.

By default, the monitor blocks access to all folders of the Dr.Web Antivirus.

Against the permissions at the Server, you may set up the Office Control module.

 

Administrators of your Antivirus network have the right to change settings of Office Control. Administrator settings automatically override user settings.

 

To configure the Office Control:

1.On the Agent context menu, select Office Control settings.

 

The Office Control settings option is available only if user has:

1.Permissions to configure Office Control. The permissions are set at the Server by the antivirus network administrator.

2.Administrator rights on the computer.

 

2.Enter the password to access the Office Control.

 

The list of resources is password-protected from editing. The password is set at the first usage of the module. You can change the password in the Office Control settings window or ask the Enterprise Security Suite administrator to do it.

 

You can change the password by clicking the Change password  button in the Settings window.

3.A window opens that contains the following tabs:

URL Filter (described in detail in the Dr.Web for Windows Help, the URL Filter Page section).

Local Access (described in detail in the Dr.Web for Windows Help, the Local Access Page section).

To open the Dr.Web for Windows help, press F1 in any window of the Office Control.

4.Click (Help) to get help on a window.
