PSEXEC exclusions

Question

Hello, 
 
 We have a situation where PSEXEC is getting blocked as adware, so we want to put an exception for the same while keeping the alerts coming but not blocking the same. 
 
 What is the best way to achieve this? I mean from application exception under antivirus policy by putting PSEXEC in authorization category? or exception from application control policy by specifying alert message and adding under authorization? 
 
 Looking for quick help. 
 
 Thanks, 
 Abhijeet

Hi Abhijeet Nawale 
 As it is being detected as Adware, the AV scanner is catching the file. It is not possible to exclude an application and then get an alert for it as well. This is as the AV will not scan the application when it is excluded. So it is not possible to get an alert for excluded applications as it defeats the purpose of exclusion. This application is not available in the application control list and so it is not possible to specify any alert for this.
