Detected exploits exclusions

You can exclude any exploit that's already been detected. We'll no longer detect it for the affected application and no longer block the application.

Exclude a detected exploit

To exclude an exploit, do as follows:

1. Click the General Settings icon .
2. Under General, click Global Exclusions.
3. Click Add Exclusion.
4. In Exclusion Type, select Detected Exploits (Windows/Mac).

5. Select an exploit or exploits in the list, and click Add.

   The exploit is added to your Global Exclusions list.

Exclude an exploit using a detection ID

You can exclude detected exploits using a detection ID.

You can use this option if you're working with Sophos Support to resolve a false positive detection. Sophos Support can give you a detection ID and you can then exclude it.

Alternatively, you can get a detection ID from the Detections page. See See detection details.

2. Under General, click Global Exclusions.
3. Click Add Exclusion.
