  2. Right-click and select Add <path type> to malware profile allow list.

  3. In the Add <path type> to malware profile allow list dialog, select from your existing Profiles and Modules to which you want to add the file path to the allow list.

  4. (Optional) View your Malware profile allow list.

    1. Go to Inventory+Endpoints → Policy Management → Prevention → Profiles and locate the malware profile you selected.

    2. Right-click, select Edit Profile and locate in the Files / Folders in Allow List section the path file you added.
