How to exclude a process?

MaxSoukhomlinov

Does anyone know how to exclude a process and all files it touches from real-time scan?

We want to improve the speed of backups and would like to exclude backup exec processes and files they read from being scanned by Sophos realtme scan.

Having used other products such as Trend and KAV, both have support for this however we are unable to find a similar feature in Sophos.

Cheers,

Max

    Hello GoatCreek,

    the driver is still there, you can see this using fltmc filters from an (elevated) command prompt.

    The key is as per Jak's post, namely HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SAVOnAccess\ (or ...\SAVOnAccessControl\ for XP).

    Hi Christian,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I didn't understood the driver was reffert as SAVOnAccess. Now I understand the REG_SZ string ExcludedProcess0 needs to be created there.

    You're reply also made me look into the LogFlags. I seems to be supportive in the future.

    Thanks!

    Ernst (aka GoatCreek :-) )
