How do I programatically add a file to Sophos's exclusion list?

Hi Sophos Gurus,

I have no Sophos experience so please forgive my newbie question.

I'm a software developer for a team that distributes an exe (let's call it myexe.exe) that is getting flagged by Sophos Anti-virus for suspicious activity.  When my team's application is installed it installs myexe.exe.  At install time, I want to add an "Exclusion" for myexe.exe to Sophos Anti-virus so that Sophos Anti-virus doesn't flag myexe.exe for suspicious activity.  How can this be accomplished?  Can this be done from a command-line command?  Thank you in advance for your help.

Note that I work at a company where Sophos Anti-virus is installed on most people's PCs.  Also note that I don't administer Sophos Anti-virus at my company, I am a software developer who distributes an .exe that is getting flagged by Sophos Anti-virus for suspicious activity.

Thanks,
DenColp

  • Please submit the file to Sophos here and if it not malware in nature and is being flagged then an update can be pushed out, however if the exe does do things that are classed as suspicious it might be best to see if you can write the program to work in a different maner.

    What is the file being marked as mal/, HIPs/ or Sus/ ?
