GPU Programmer 0 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'm a professional developer. Last night I updated to version 15.0.18.0. Not quite sure why this update didn’t happen earlier, but likely irrelevant. This morning LiveGuard sends every executable that I produce into quarantine for analysis and locks me out of the file I created for 5 min. When I'm doing unit testing, I should be creating about 2 executables per minute in an automated script. I had to turn it off to work, I can't take today off to troubleshot this. But I rather think LiveGuard is essential for normal use. What is the right way to configure this so that it doesn't attack my own development? I've not explored the scope of the issue. The project I'm working on this morning is residing on OneDrive and I'm using Visual Studio. It may be different on a NAS or a local drive or with JetBrains IDEs. But I've been working on this project with exactly this setup for a couple of weeks. Will update if I discover that this “bug” is highly affected by the details of the development environment.

Administrators Solution Marcos 5,407 Posted November 10, 2021 Administrators Solution Share Posted November 10, 2021 That's because you download the files from the Internet (OneDrive). To prevent these files from being submitted, add the folder containing the files to the Exclusion list in the Submission setup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPU Programmer 0 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I had failed to end the folder name with a wild card. It didn't work with just the folder name. Apparently you need <full path>\* (not just <full path>). I happened to work on something that was on the local disk this morning and the problem was occurring there as well. None of this use to be a problem. Nevertheless Marcos's fix seems to work. Find exclusions by going to Setup -> Internet Protection -> <settings for> Web Access Control -> Detection Engine -> Exclusions -> <edit for> Detection exclusions.

This isn't correct. To exclude files from LiveGuard only scanning: Quote Exclusions The Exclusion filter allows you to exclude files/folders from submission (for example, it may be useful to exclude files that may carry confidential information, such as documents or spreadsheets). The files listed will never be sent to ESET labs for analysis, even if they contain suspicious code. The most common file types are excluded by default (.doc, etc.). You can add to the list of excluded files if desired. To exclude files downloaded from download.domain.com, navigate to Advanced setup > Detection Engine > Cloud-based protection > Submission of samples and click Edit next to Exclusions. Add the exclusion .download.domain.com. https://help.eset.com/essp/15/en-US/idh_config_charon.html Edited November 11, 2021 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
