The Internet is full of websites containing bogus and even dangerous information, especially for a child's psyche. And many websites are sources for spreading malware or have been created by phishers. It’s the duty of parents to protect their children from psychological trauma and criminals. The URL filter—a special Dr.Web component—prevents them from visiting unwanted sites.

By default the URL filter is configured to do what?

Block access only to websites known to be sources for spreading malware 1
The URL filter is not configured; users must do this themselves. 0
Block websites according to a blacklist of banned sites—the user can edit the list 0
Block access to websites according to all the filter's thematic lists (gambling, social media, etc.); the user can disable the block option for some of them 0

Today, SMS phishing and vishing are very popular among cybercriminals. These types of cybercrimes are especially dangerous for children. Phishers send out enticing SMS messages with an invitation to visit a phishing or malicious site; messages about profitable promos, prizes, and winnings; notifications about the supposed need to urgently update a system or application, etc. Visiting such a link can result in a device getting infected. Vishers call their victims and fish for information. For example, they can ask children about their parents' schedules and whether someone is home, and they can scare elderly people with information about the alleged deaths of their relatives and extort money from them—there are thousands of ways to cheat people.

Which Dr.Web Security Space for Android component protects against phishers and vishers?

The Call and SMS Filter 1
Dr.Web Parental Control 0
