To remove MD5 hashes exclusions from malware protection for selected host sets:

Note

When you disable a setting in a custom policy, the setting is disabled for all host sets assigned to the policy. If you want select host sets to keep the original setting, you must create a new custom policy with the setting enabled and assign it to the selected host sets. See Creating a Custom Policy for more information about using the Web UI to create a custom policy.

  1. Log in to the Web UI as an administrator.

  2. From the Admin menu, select Policies to access the Policies page.

  3. In the Policies table, click the link for the custom policy you want to modify.

  4. Select the Malware Protection tab.

  5. In the Policy Exclusions section, locate the MD5 hash you want to remove from the list below the Exclude hashes from malware scanning option.

  6. Click the Policy_MalProtect_Delete_Icon.png icon next to the MD5 hash to remove it from the list.

  7. Repeat Step 5 until you have removed all the MD5 hash exclusions you want from the list.

  8. Click Save.
