Enabling and disabling quarantine and malware protection processing exclusions

You can also optimize malware protection processing and performance on your host endpoints by globally applying the following quarantine exclusions to endpoints in your enterprise:

Exclude heuristic detections
Exclude adware
Exclude Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP)
Exclude spyware

When these exclusion are enabled, the Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent malware protection engine will not quarantine or protect the host endpoint from malware detected using heuristic detections, adware, PUP, or spyware.

This section includes the following topics:

Excluding Heuristic Detections from Malware Protection Processing
Excluding Adware from Malware Protection Processing
Excluding Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP) from Malware Protection Processing
Excluding Spyware from Malware Protection Processing
