Table 17-3
Creating exceptions for Symantec Endpoint Protection Small
Business Edition (continued)
Description Task
Supported on Windows clients.
Specifies how Symantec Endpoint Protection
Small Business Edition handles an application
that is detected by virus and spyware scans
(including Download Insight), SONAR, Tamper
Protection, or application learning. You can use
the exception to specify how Download Insight
handles an application that your users try to
download.
You can force Symantec Endpoint Protection
Small Business Edition to detect an application
by specifying an Application to monitor
exception. Then you can create an Application
exception to specify how scans handle the
application.
The application exception is a SHA-2 hash-based
exception. Legacy exceptions for TruScan
proactive threat scans appear as SHA-1
hash-based exceptions. Legacy clients support
SHA-1 exceptions only. The file fingerprint in the
exceptions list is preceded by a 2 or a 1
respectively to indicate the file hash type.
See “Specifying how Symantec Endpoint
Protection Small Business Edition handles an
application that scans detect or that users
download”
