Based on the environment, certain processes might need to be excluded to allow third-party applications to function properly when using port blocking rules.
NOTE: Your version of VirusScan Enterprise already includes several exclusions. To ensure you take advantage of the latest default exclusions (listed in
KB65718), upgrade to the latest version and patch for VirusScan Enterprise.
If the default exclusions do not cover your issue, you can add more exclusions to Access Protection rules:
- Click Start, All Programs, McAfee, VirusScan Console.
- Double-click Access Protection.
- Select the appropriate Port Blocking rule and click Edit.
Example: Anti-virus Standard Protection, Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail
- Add the appropriate process name (see list below) to the list of Excluded Processes.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that there are no spaces before the commas separating process names.
Example: ,outlook.exe, msimn.exe,
- Click OK until the Access Protection Properties window is closed.
- Exit VirusScan Console.
