About Auto-Protect scans
As users access files on the devices, Auto-Protect provides real-time threat scanning. By default, when Auto-Protect detects a suspicious file, it moves the file to the Quarantine. Infected files in the Quarantine are secure and cannot spread threats into other areas of the device.
If the automatic action fails, the next action is Deny Access.
Table 3-3 describes the automatic actions that are available.

About the Activity Log

(Default) Moves the infected file to the QuarantineQuarantine

Temporarily turn off Auto-Protect

Auto-Protect monitors and scans the files that the device accesses. When a threat or suspicious activity is detected, the potentially malicious file is blocked, and it performs the action you selected in Table 3-3 on page 18.
By default, Auto-Protectis turned on. It is recommended that Auto-Protect remain turned on at all times.
To turn off Auto-Protect
Navigate to the AntiVirus component.
1
Do one of the following:
2
On a Smartphone, select Menu > Options > AntiVirusOptions.
On a Pocket PC, select Menu > Options.
Uncheck Auto-Protect.
3
About the Activity Log
The device maintains a local history of antivirus and LiveUpdate activity.

When the log is full

When the Activity Log reaches 300 KB in size, Norton Smartphone Security first compacts the log file, which creates more space. If compacting the log file does not create enough space, entries are deleted (oldest first) until the size drops below 300 KB.

About SMS AntiSpam

SMS AntiSpam works by allowing the user to maintain either an acceptable phone number list or a blocked phone number list against which incoming messages are filtered. If the user runs a blockedlist and the incoming message is froma number
Page 19
in that list, or if the user runs an acceptable list and the incoming message phone number is not on the list, the messages are routed to a Spam folder.
The user can maintain a separate acceptable list and blocked list; only one list is active at a time.
Note: SMS AntiSpam filters spam for SMS messages, not for email.

Configuring SMS AntiSpam

You can add and delete numbers, and import numbers from the contacts list or SIM card on the device. Also, in the Message Center on the device, the current message number can be blocked or allowed.
To configure AntiSpam
Select Start and navigate to Norton AntiVirus.
1
Do one of the following:
2
On Pocket PC, select Menu > Options > AntiSpam tab.
On Smartphone, select Menu > Options > AntiSpam Options.
About SMS AntiSpam
19Protecting devices with Norton Smartphone Security
Configure the following from the list at the top of the screen:
3
Blocked Numbers: Block messagesthat come from the numbers in the list.
If Block Numbers is selected, you can also select Block SMS without number. This item blocks all incoming messages that do not have a number specified. This feature is carrier-specific; some carriers take messages without a number and change them to 000-0000.
Accepted Numbers: Accept messages only from the numbers on the list.
Disable SMS AntiSpam: Disables anti-spam functionality.
Do one of the following:
4
On the Pocket PC, select Import. Numbers that are already in the AntiSpam
filter list are checked.
On the Smartphone, select Menu>EditNumbers > Menu>From Contacts.
To add a number from the address book to the AntiSpam filter list, place a
5
check mark next to the number, and then select Done.

Numbers and number matching

Phone numbers in the United States and in other parts of the world typically consist of a prefix and a main number. In some areas, the prefix is not necessary
Page 20
Protecting devices with Norton Smartphone Security
20
About SMS AntiSpam
to send a message to the device. For example, if your device is registered in the (818) area code in the United States, dialing (818) 555-1212 and 555-1212 results in dialing the same location. Incoming messages follow this same rule, depending on the carrier. If a message is sent from (818) 555-1212, the number may show up as either 555-1212, 818-555-1212, or 1-818-555-1212 on the receiver device.
The filter process attempts to resolve this problem by first obtaining the phone number of the current device, then looking to see what prefix digits exist on the device’s own number, to fill in the missing prefix components if an incoming message number is short. For example, if an incoming message is received from 555-1212, and the device is registered in the (818) area code, this number will match 1-818-555-1212, 818-555-1212, or 555-1212 in the AntiSpam blocked number list.
Note: If the program cannot obtain the phone number of the device being used, numbers are matched as they are received. An incoming message from 555-1212 only matches against 555-1212, but not against1-818-555-1212, because the local area code cannot be obtained.
For international messages where the number of digits in a phone number varies from country to country,a message received from one country with a short number of digits may confuse the string compare routine from a second country which uses more digits in the phone number.
