Whitelisting is the use of anti-spam filtering software to allow only specified e-mail addresses to get through or only trusted apps to run on your device. With Hackers continually tweaking their malware, traditional antivirus products are having an increasingly hard time keeping up. Whitelisting allows only pre-approved applications to communicate outside of your device, or only emails from approved senders to show in your inbox, thus protecting you from phishing & spam.
