Controlled application allowed sometimes, blocked others

Hello

I have been given the task of monitoring our Sophos Central and determining further configurations.

I have noticed that we have 7-Zip blocked under application control (as well as a few others like  Toolbars, Unity Web Apps, Unity Web Players, Eclipse IDE , etc) and sometimes they are blocked and sometimes they are not..

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Matt

  • I have recently noticed this as well.  Strangely, however, The app may still be blocked even if I see the "Controlled application allowed" notice.  For instance we have Windows Store blocked.  After scanning a system it will detect the app and say "Controlled application allowed: Microsoft Store App (Download manager)".  I'll go to that system try to open the Store and it Sophos will block it as I wanted.
