App-V 5.x antivirus exclusions

For App-V 4.x Microsoft have documented recommended antivirus exclusions. Are there any similar recommended antivirus exclusions for App-V 5.x?

Hello,
App-V 5.0 does not have any recommended antivirus exclusions.

Office Web Apps Server Antivirus Exclusions

Hello,
Are there any guidelines for Antivirus exclusions with respect to Office Web Apps server like we have for Exchange, Lync and SharePoint servers. I would highly appreciate if any help in this regard.
We have office web apps server that we are using with Lync 2013 and SharePoint 2013.
Thanks

Hi,
There is no Official documentation about it.
For servers running antivirus software, include all servers running Lync Server 2013 in the exception list in order to provide optimal performance and audio quality.
You may refer to the link below:

Antivirus exclusions for RDS 2012 R2

Hi all,
I have a RDS 2012 R2 envirionment. 8 SH servers, 2 WA servers, 2 CB servers (in HA), 1 GW server, 1 x two node Fail over cluster containing the UPD disk files (among other things).
I've been surfing the net to find antivirus exclusions specific to RDS 2012 R2 but didn't find much. Aside from the regualr OS exclusions, are there any specific exclusions for RDS, specifically Session Host Servers? Any special considurations for UPD?
Thanks!
Jesmat.

Hi Jesmat,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
There is previous version for “Terminal Service Antivirus Exclusions” is available but sorry to inform that “Antivirus
Exclusions for RDS server 2012 R2” is still
not published as Microsoft team is in the process of publishing. Please check
this article for information.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

FIM: Antivirus exclusions

I was wondering, or there any files/directories on a FIM Service/Portal/Synchronization server which are preferably excluded for AV scanning? SQL is not in scope here. Those requirements are known to us.
I've searched a bit but didn't find any official guidelines. I'm thinking like madata folders (CSV file for File MA?), ...;

Crystal Report Server - Antivirus Exclusions

Does SAPBO have a list of antivirus exclusions for the Crystal Report Server's - Application Directories, Files, Databases, or other objects that need to be exculded from 'Real-Time' and 'Shcheduled' scans? If so where is it? I have querired all the forums with no results on the exclusions list.
We deployed a new version of McAfee 8.5.1i patch-level 7 that caused CRS to stop functioning properly for 12 hours.

Agreed, the root cause in this case was an incorrect set of exclusions that allowed a Full Virus Scan to touch database .mdf and ldf files.
We had originally set up the exclusions according to all Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and IIS standards for Anti-Virus exclusions, and then subsequently installed Crystal Report Server some time after that with no negative impact.
The upgrade we just performed however removed the exclusions and caused the CRS to have issues. My experience with defining exclusions has been to go to the vendors of all the installed products and ask for their techncal documenation on the anti-virus exclutions and best practices. Because I had never done so before I thought now would be a good time.
SAP/BO are not alone by not having an 'Official' document on this matter, but if we are to continue to be #1 then having high expectations goes with the territory.

SCEP antivirus exclusions when multiple policies applied to collection. Merge or Replace?

Hi,
I'm seeking clarification specifically on exclusions that are applied via
multiple antivirus policies to a device collection. I am finding that the antivirus policy with the highest priority 'wins' and I only see exclusions for this policy. I do not see a 'merge' of the exclusions occurring which I thought was the case according
to the following documentation:
What’s New in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1
Specifically, the section below underlined:
Multiple antimalware policies that are deployed to the same client computer are merged on the client. When two settings are in conflict, the highest priority option is used.
Some settings are also merged, such as exclusion lists from separate antimalware policies. Client-side merge also honors the priority that you configured for each antimalware policy.
As an example, say I have a server with SQL and IIS running. I create PolicyA which contain exclusions for SQL, and PolicyB which contains exclusions for IIS. If I deploy both of these policies to my collection, I am expecting to see
both exclusion lists (i.e. merge) but I only see one exclusion list (the one with the higher priority).
I am aware that I can create a new policy by merging two or more other policies - I was hoping to not do this as I'll end up with many policies for exclusions. I thought I could, for example, target an SQL exception policy to SQL servers,
and if there is an SQL server that needs IIS/other exclusions, I can deploy another AV policy to that collection - saving myself from deploying the custom exceptions to servers that do not need it.
If there is a 'smarter' way of doing this, or if I have got anything mixed up please let me know.
Many thanks for your help.

What version of ConfigMgr are you running? Check both the site and the client.
If you are running at least SP1, the example you gave should work as you thought. Is it possible that the client is running pre-SP1?

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

Antivirus exclusions for updating Flash Player

We are trying to get it so that all of our PC's can automatically update Flash Player (due to all of the recent updates) rather than have me download the redistributable and push it out over Zenworks.
When we do this, McAfee ePO 8.8i is apparently blocking the Flash Player install.
What do we need to list as an exception/exclusion from McAfee so that we can accomplish the updates? My List would be:
InstallFlashPlayer.exe
FlashUtil*_ActiveX.exe
install_flashplayer*.exe (maybe install_flashplayer*aih.exe?)
FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe
My concern with using the wildcards is the enormous amount of spyware that might be introduced because of this. Is there anything else I can do?

Hi Ulendal,
Unfortunately, we cannot make a guarantee on specific file names for our installers, or that they will keep the same file names in the future.
However, great effort is going into improving the current update experience in a future release.
Thanks,

Antivirus software exclusions for DFS and Hyper-V

I am rolling out an updated antivirus solution to our DFS server and Hyper-V (Windows 2008 and 2012) and I am curious of the following:
1. What are the exclusion suggestions for Hyper-V servers? I found a URL that showed the exceptions to add but I thought there would be more for Hyper-V to exclude.
2. What are the specific exclusions to include for a DFS server? I read somewhere that there were some DFSR hidden folders that need to be included but I would like to know if there is an official suggestion from Microsoft of what files/folders need
to be excluded.

Hi,
Anti-virus software should exclude Hyper-V specific files which listed in the article below:
Hyper-V: Anti-Virus Exclusions for Hyper-V Hosts
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2179.hyper-v-anti-virus-exclusions-for-hyper-v-hosts.aspx
For the DFS antivirus exclusion, you could refer to the article below:

Subscription and volume licensed Office 365 C2R App-V packages on the same computer

I'm interested if anyone has come across a similar scenario to what we have at the organisation I am currently working for. The organisation has signed up for an E3 subscription to Office 365, however would like to continue to using their volume licenses
of Visio and Project 2013 (at least until new versions are released at which point they'll likely move to the same subscription model).
Using the Office Deployment Tool, I've created App-V 5.0 SP2 packages for
a. "O365ProPlusRetail"
b. "ProjectProVolume" and "VisioProVolume"
Both App-V packages ignore any exclusion rules in the configuration.xml file I've defined. This is expected and I can control which applications are published using Config Mgr 2012 R2. Both packages deploy and run as I would expect.
The issue I specifically have is that if I publish both App-V packages (using different package ID's) to the same PC with modified DeploymentConfig.xml files:
a. "O365ProPlusRetail" package only enables Word, Outlook and Excel (subscription licensing)
b. "ProjectProVolume/VisioProVolume" package only enables Visio and Project (volume licensed)
it appears as though the Word, Excel and Outlook from (b) are utilised instead of from (a) even though they are specifically disabled. This means that Word, Excel and Outlook activate to our local KMS server, rather than using the user credentials as we would
prefer.
To confirm I can see that package (a) is already running when I run the following command: Get-AppvClientPackage | select Name, InUse, InUseByCurrentUser
Name
InUse                                InUseByCurrentUser
Microsoft Office 15 ProjectProRetail_O365ProPl...
True
True
Microsoft Office 15 VisioProVolume_ProPlusVolu...
False
False
If I then open Word (which should only be enabled in the first package), I see that the second package is now in use
Name
InUse                                InUseByCurrentUser
Microsoft Office 15 ProjectProRetail_O365ProPl...
True
True

I've also confirmed that all the applications (besides Visio and Project) are disabled in the second package:

Perhaps what I am trying to do is unsupported but I can't find anything explicity calling this out - and surely other organisations will have a similar scenario to us. Is there any best practice recommendations from Microsoft in this regard?

Can iTunes handle multiple versions of the same app?

Now that iTunes, iOS, and iDevices have been around long enough for users to have multiple devices on multiple iOS versions, is Apple doing anything to allow users to run multiple versions of the same app through iTunes?
Case in point I have an older iPhone running iOS-5 with a few apps that are now running exclusively on iOS-7, my new iPhone is on iOS-7. Once I sync my new phone with the updated versions of the app, iTunes usually dumps the old version into the trash bin. But what if I need that older version to continue running it on my iOS-5 iPhone?
Is there a workaround for this? I've considered using an old PC as my base computer for sycning the new iPhone, but I still fear that the new app updates will go to all devices running on my iTunes account through iCloud.
If Apple doesn't address this problem at some point then as the years go by certain iDevices will eventually become completely useless even if they are a fully functional piece of electronics.
(spare me the "that's their plan, corporate greed" replies).
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the apps SHOULD be developed to work with the new stuff, No, not all apps keep their old versions in the App Store, BUT, finally Apple has ALLOWED developers to have multiple versions of an App in the store.
The problem isn't about retarding development, it's about Apple trying to force users to buy new things that they don't need because the old thing, though it works just fine & has the apps that you need, is unable to be used because the apps have been updated in iTunes. Why can't you allow me to keep Facebook 5.0.1 for my old iPhone 3G that is used as an iPod, Facebook 6.7.2 for my iPod Touch & Facebook 19.6.4 for my new iPhone 8? As of now I can download the old version on the old device, but when I sync it it always tries to 'Update' it & then says 'Can't be updated because this version is incompatible with this device' making the sync take 3x as long & meaning that if my device crashes for some reason or I choose to restore it becasue of problems I have to go find the old version, hoping that I saved it, delete the new version, drag in the old version, THEN sync & then move the old version back before updating from my other device (Having done this with the 3G & iTouch 4 for years I learned that when the sync transfers purchases from the phone it 'replaces' the file instead of moving the old 1 to the trash).
Some of these apps I have purchased, & by forcing the update to remove the old version Apple is essentially taking something I have purchased & saying I am no longer allowed to use it.
Just in the what 3 months since the new iOS came out I have noticed that now over half of the apps can't be run on my iPod Touch 4G.
It's simple, iTunes should either:
Keep a record of the devices that have synced (I know, it already does) & keep the newest version for the lated iOS in iTunes
Let users have multiple versions of the same app in iTunes & allow us to disable update checks for certain apps
Allow users to choose to download from iTunes the different versions of the apps available from the developer
OR
Allow users to edit the info on Apps, unlinking them from their original & updates & allowing users to keep an old version & still download a new 1

Antivirus and cleaning of my mac air

Hi guys ... Sometimes I open sites which is not totatly secure .. I had istalled an app which is an antivirus called ClamXav .. and after scanning I realized I had a Trojan .. I removed it ... I want to know what is the BEST antivirus and what are the best apps for security issues. and I want your advice what to do to perserve my Mac fast and free of Malwares .. especially that I will continue open non secure website .. simply because I need some of them and also I don't know which is safe and which is not

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to your computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
   3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
   For the reasons given, App Store products, and — to a lesser extent — other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent. or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website.
Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
   6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. New threats are emerging on a daily basis. Research has shown that most successful attacks are "zero-day" — that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based malware scanners do not defend against such attacks.
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize without the need for any software; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you really care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use recognition software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every unknown email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar App Store product may be useful if an uninformed network administrator says you must have some kind of "anti-virus" application.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. "Hmmmm, this torrent is a crack of that new game I want. I think I'll download it. It could be a trojan, but the antivirus will warn me if it is." Then they wonder why their Mac is so slow all of a sudden. It's slow because it's running flat out mining bitcoins for a hacker who has already sold their credit card number and banking passwords to a criminal gang. Maybe a week later the antivirus does warn them, but what good does that do?
Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

My wife received a Acer tablet for Xmas,to connect it to my MacBook Pro I need to download a free app called Android File Transfer. Problem is i can't find it in the app store, can anybody help please?

Any help to the above question would be much appreciated.

Mac app store isn't the exclusive way to download apps in a mac, like it is the case in iPhone or iPod Touch. So if you can't find something in the app store, just google it and download from any trusted source you find.
