Symantec CE V10.1 - Tamper Protection.

Checking the manual. It only has the option to be enabled and to block processes and send alert messages.

can you check if adding global security risk exclusion helps!!

cheers!!

"Tamper Protection provides real-time protection for Symantec applications. It
prevents Symantec processes and internal objects from being attacked or affected
by non-Symantec processes such as worms, Trojan horses, viruses, and security
risks."

So disabling this feature would allow anyone or anything to modify the aforementioned files.

We are having this issue as well.

Since updating our Altiris Inventory Solution to the latest version, Tamper protection is blocking our Inventory tasks from running and prompting all the clients with the Alert message on a daily basis. (AexExchpls.exe)

We are on SAV 10.1.5.

Symantec have suggested migrating to SAV ver 10.2 which apparently accomodates for this.

Problem is this is a major impact and not just a matter of upgrading the AV.

has anyone had this issue using Altiris as well? If so what was your work around to allow Invnentory to run?

@yabru: maybe you should listen to Symantec on this one.

This link shows the changes made to the antivirus:

And you could add the file/folder to the exceptions.
