The adware key determines whether Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent malware protection engine excludes files with adware from the malware protection global exclusion policy. Valid values are true (enabled) or false (disabled).
When the adware exclusion is enabled, the Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent malware protection engine does not quarantine or protect the host endpoint from adware. By default, the adware key is disabled.
If the adware key value is true, you must also set the following key values to true:
malware Detection enable Key
Quarantine enable Malware Quarantine Key
Important
If the malware detection
enablekey and the quarantineenablekey are not enabled, theadwarekey value is ignored.
Change this setting using one of the following methods:
Web UI (see Excluding Adware from Malware Protection Processing).
API custom configuration channels (see Using API Custom Configuration Channels).
Manually on individual endpoints using a text editor (see Modifying the Configuration File for a Single Endpoint).
