Endpoint Protection

"Do not scan files when trusted processes access the files."

This is an auto-protect option.

Thus auto-protect does not scan files being opened by processes that are trusted. So for example if I'm opening a word document while my word is a trusted process then the word document is not scanned, right?

So what are the trusted processes? I've read that Windows Search is a trusted process.

Where can I find a list of trusted processes?

Thanks,

There is no list available

I believe its only Windows Search Indexer. Per this post from Symantec's Mithun Sanghavi:

"At the moment, the only trusted process is the Windows Search Indexer and it isn’t customizable."

You will need to look into adding exceptions if you're having issue. Are you?
