Sophos Web Protection provides enhanced protection against web threats. It works by looking up website URLs in the Sophos online database of infected websites, and then blocking access to any websites that are known to host malware.

The following browsers support web protection:

• Internet Explorer
• Firefox
• Google Chrome
• Safari
• Opera

When access to a malicious website is blocked, the event is recorded in the scanning log. For information about viewing the scanning log, see View the scanning log.
