Antivirus for Mac can control access to specific websites. Antivirus for Mac will never stop you from opening a page on the list of approved websites. It will always prevent you from opening pages on the list of blocked websites.

You can use these lists to name exceptions or additions to the web filtering categories currently selected. For example, if you have blocked “Games” websites but want to make an exception for your home team, just enter the address of their website into the Trusted Websites list.

Putting the address of a website on either list will also make Antivirus for Mac allow or block access to any website that starts with the same characters.

For example, if http://www.xyz.com appears on the list of allowed websites, then Antivirus for Mac will allow http://www.xyz.com/pdq.htm as well.
