Excluding iexplore.exe

What kind of issues would I be opening myself up to if I excluded iexplore.exe from on-access scanning?  You are probably asking WHY I would want that.. we have been having issues with a web based application that runs in IE.  Right now I am in the process of testing the application without Sophos on the system at all to see how it performs.  If we see no issues running the application on a Sophos-less machine I'm afraid the only option would be to exclude iexplore.exe from on-access scanning polices.

Thoughts?

  • I wouldn't say the risk isn't high if everything else is enabled but I'd only do it if it was causing an issue. 

    That said, if you have secure boot enabled for these computers then appinit dlls don't load anyway so if you have this enabled I guess it's moot. :)
