Setting up DeepGuard (F-Secure)

It monitors applications to detect potentially harmful changes to the system.

When DeepGuard is on, the following protections are on:

• Exploit protection
• Ransomware protection
• Heuristic analysis
• Behavior monitoring

To set up DeepGuard:

1. Turn on DeepGuard:
   1. Under Profiles, select the used profile.
   2. Open Real-Time Scanning.
   3. Turn DeepGuard on.

   Note: Make sure that Real-time scanning is on.

2. You can add rules to exclude applications from DeepGuard scanning as follows:

   Note: We recommend that you only exclude applications when absolutely necessary, because DeepGuard provides critical protection, for example against ransomware.

   1. In the Enabled column, turn the rule on.
   2. In the Application SHA-1 column, use the SHA-1 hash to identify the application. You can use an SHA-1 calculator to generate a 40-character SHA-1 hash.
   3. In the Notes column, store the name of the application or other identifying information. The field is not visible to end-users.
   4. In the Trusted column, select how DeepGuard handles the application. When you turn it on, DeepGuard allows all operations for this application; when you turn it off, DeepGuard always prevents this application from running.

   Note: When an application is upgraded, you need to calculate a new hash for it.

3. Select Done.
