Defining the default high and low processes during
scans
You can change the default configuration of some high- and low-risk process policies on the
on-access scanner to improve system performance and focus the scanning where it is most
likely to detect malware.
CAUTION: There is some risk associated with adding exclusions to high-and low-risk process
policies. The risk is determined by other policy settings, but generally the risk is minimal and
should be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Be careful when you determine the degree of
acceptable risk to obtain the desired performance improvement.
To change the default low-risk process policies using ePolicy Orchestrator, access the VirusScan
Enterprise 8.8.0, On-Access Low-Risk Processes Policy, and click the Low-Risk Processes
tab. Click Add and refer to the Low-risk processes table for some of the low-risk processes that
could be added to the on-access scanner exclusion.
Configure the Scan Items, Exclusions, and Actions tab options to change the behavior of
the on-access scanner.
NOTE: One or more of these options must be changed for the low-risk processes to have an
effect on performance.
The following ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 display shows some processes added as low-risk.
