Filtering based on file name
There are filenames that are known to be associated with malware such as viruses and trojans. There are filenames you may associate with other undesirable content in addition to malware. In these situations you want to select specific filenames to filter.
You do not have to match the entire filename. For example if you wanted to block all files with the word trojan in them you could use wildcards to accomplish this - *trojan* . This allows you to select the entire filename, part of the filename, or just the file type to match.
The following procedure creates a filter list called filterExampleFiles that filters two files called exampleTrojanFile.abc and *trojan*.def . When completed, this file filter list can be included in an MMS profile.
