You can use DeepGuard’s learning mode to create rules that allow applications and operations that appear when you use your computer normally.
When you start the learning mode, use your computer as normal and start any applications that you want DeepGuard to allow. DeepGuard allows all file access attempts and creates customized rules for your computer that you can import when you stop the learning mode.
The learning mode is most useful for the Classic and Strict rulesets. If you are using the Default ruleset, you probably do not need the learning mode.
Note: DeepGuard does not protect your computer while learning mode is in use.
To use the learning mode:
-
- Click on the product icon in the menu bar.
- Select Preferences from the menu.
- Click the DeepGuard tab.
- Click Advanced.
- Click the lock icon in the bottom-left corner.
You need administrative rights to change the settings. Without this authorization, you cannot change any of the DeepGuard settings.
-
- In the DeepGuard Configuration app, select File > Learning Mode.
- Click Enable Learning Mode to start the learning mode.
- Start the applications that you normally use on your computer.
- Go back to the DeepGuard Configuration app and select File > Learning Mode again to stop the learning mode.
DeepGuard shows you a list of applications that you can import as rules, which allows the selected applications to access files on your computer.
-
- Select the applications that you want to allow, then click Import.
You can later edit the imported rules in the DeepGuard Configuration app.
