Managing exceptions (continued)
Description Task
Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business
Edition automatically creates exceptions, or
exclusions, for some third-party application and
some Symantec products.
You can also configure individual scans to scan
only certain extensions and skip any other
extensions.
See “About the files and folders that Symantec
Endpoint Protection excludes from virus and
spyware scans”
on page 146.
Review the types of files and folders
that Symantec Endpoint Protection
Small Business Edition automatically
excludes from scans
You add exceptions in an Exceptions policy
directly. Or you can add exceptions from log
events on the Monitors page.
See “Creating exceptions for Symantec Endpoint
Protection Small Business Edition” on page 240.
See “Creating exceptions from log events in
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager”
on page 249.
Create exceptions for scans
By default, users on client computers have limited
configuration rights for exceptions. You can
restrict users further so that they cannot create
exceptions for virus and spyware scans or for
SONAR.
Users can never force an application detection
and they never have permission to create Tamper
Protection exceptions.
See “Restricting the types of exceptions that users
can configure on client computers” on page 249.
Restricting the types of exceptions that
users can configure on client computers
After Symantec Endpoint Protection Small
Business Edition makes a detection, you can create
an exception for the detection from the log event.
For example, you might want to create an
exception for a file that scans detect but that your
users request to download.
See “Creating exceptions from log events in
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager”
on page 249.
Check the logs for detections for which
you might want to create exceptions
