Spyware Approved List Wizard

CPM classifies applications as spyware or grayware based on their function and/or on the basis of code analysis. The Spyware Approved List allows you to prevent CPM from treating approved applications as spyware or grayware. For example, say you have a utility installed on clients that performs behavior that, under a different set of circumstances, would be malicious or dangerous. You can add that file to the Approved List to allow it to run. CPM will continue to detect the file as spyware, but it will not take the configured action.

Note: The Spyware/Grayware Approved list will only be populated (as seen in the following screen) after you have downloaded at least one set of pattern files to the server.

A good way to identify which programs (innocuous and malicious) are being detected as spyware/grayware is to check your Spyware/Grayware Logs.

CPM can accommodate a maximum of 1024 spyware/grayware in the white or black lists.
