Environment

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.x

Problem

Specifying a Process to Exclude (for example, psexec.exe or sms.exe) in any Access Protection rule that includes the string System:Remote does not take effect.

Problem

Adding any process on the Process to Exclude field of the Access Protection rule Anti-virus Standard Protection:Prevent remote creation/modification of executable and configuration files does not take effect.

Cause

No information about which process is performing I/O (Input/Output) makes it across the network.

Solution

Disable the Access Protection rule that is using System:Remote. There is no way to add a specific process to be excluded when the access is performed across the network.

  1. Click Start, Programs, McAfee, VirusScan Console.
  2. Double-click Access Protection and select Anti-virus Standard Protection.
  3. Select the desired Access Protection rule.
     
    Example:

    Prevent remote creation/modification of executable and configuration files
     
  4. Deselect Block and Report for that rule and click OK.
  5. Exit VirusScan Console.
