Excluding a Website from On-Access Scanning

sh856531

Hi All

We have an internal website that we use (a CRM system) that is having issues with Sophos. We believe the issue occurs because Sophos attempts to scan all js/html and image files as they are sent from the web application. Unfortunately the web app isn't exactly efficient and can send up to 100+ individual files to render a single page!

We would like to basically stop sophos on access scanning js/html and possibly image files. However because we don't really want to do this for *all* websites I'm wondering if its possible to put individual web sites on a "safe" list to get around our performance issue in a more granular way?

I hope that makes sense

Many thanks all!

    Hi Christian,

    Thanks very much for your reply. I've been having a bit of a play about and I think I'm with you on the fact that its not possible to exlude individual URLs from the effects of on access scanning. Using Process Monitor I've tried as many options as I can think of short of turning scanning off completely and the only option I've found that works is to either fully exclude the Temporary Files folder for the browser or excluding named file extensions completely.

    I guess we'll have to consider whether the performance is bearable vs disabling scanning for all js/html files :-(

    Many thanks

    Simon
