Exception by Malware signature possible?

Fred12 over 4 years ago

Hello,

I have a false positive detection from Avira scanner for some url's. I don't want to exclude scanning for those url's as descried here:

https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/18.0/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/nsg/sfos/concepts/WebExceptions.html?hl=exclude

Is there any way to exclude detection by name e.g "Malware 'ADWARE/Adware.Gen7" on XG?

Oh, you are using Avira for your business? I am sorry, sounded like a your privat/home installation. You cannot exclude certain Detection. Only on URL base.

Hi Fred12,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community!

You could select specific checks from the exception if you would like to bypass the AV scan, select option "Malware and content scanning" for the specific website.

Thanks,

Or move to Sophos Home :)

Just another suggestion.

Are you kidding? Moving from full licensed xg310 to Sophos Home isn't a helpful recommendation.

this is exactly NOT my intention. I want to exclude a dedicated Signature not the virus scan at all for that target.
