Using trusted lists
If VirusScan detects a file or registry change (SystemGuard),
program, or buffer overflow, it prompts you to trust or remove it.
If you trust the item and indicate that you do not want to receive
future notification about its activity, the item is added to a trusted
list and VirusScan no longer detects it or notifies you about its
activity. If an item has been added to a trusted list, but you decide
you want to block its activity, you can do so. Blocking prevents
the item from running or making any changes to your computer
without notifying you each time an attempt is made. You can also
remove an item from a trusted list. Removing allows VirusScan to
detect the item's activity again.
Manage trusted lists
Use the Trusted Lists pane to trust or block items that have been
previously detected and trusted. You can also remove an item
from a trusted list so that VirusScan detects it again.
