You can control which applications DeepGuard allows and blocks.
Sometimes DeepGuard may block a safe application from running, even if you want to use the application and know it to be safe. This happens because the application tries to make system changes that might be potentially harmful. You may also have unintentionally blocked the application when a DeepGuard pop-up has been shown.
To allow the application that DeepGuard has blocked:
-
- Open F-Secure SAFE from the Windows Start menu.
- On the main view, select Viruses and Threats.
- On the Viruses and Threats view, select App and file control.
Note: You need administrative rights to access these settings.
- Select the Blocked tab.
This shows you a list of the applications that DeepGuard has blocked.
- Find the application that you want to allow and select Allow.
- Select Yes to confirm that you want to allow the application.
The selected application is added to the Excluded list, and DeepGuard allows the application to make system changes again.
