How to whitelist the SuperOps agent in your Antivirus
Updated over 4 months ago

Sometimes, the SuperOps agent gets incorrectly detected as malicious software and is automatically uninstalled by some antivirus software. While we are currently working on resolving this issue, here's how you can whitelist the SuperOps agent in your antivirus and ensure it continues to function properly:

For ESET PROTECT

1. Edit policy settings

  • Go to Policies > Edit Policy > Settings > Potentially Unsafe Applications

  • Set Reporting to Aggressive and Protection to OFF.

This change will ensure that the SuperOps agent doesn't get uninstalled if ESET detects it as unsafe.

2. Create an exclusion

  • Select a detection and click Create Exclusion.

  • In Settings, under Exclusion criteria, select Detection (Exclude each detection)

  • Under Auto-resolving, check the Resolve matching alerts checkbox to automatically resolve the alerts covered by the exclusion.

For Windows Defender

  • Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.

  • Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.

  • Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process. A folder exclusion will apply to all subfolders within the folder as well.

  • Finally, clear cached detections and obtain the latest malware definitions with the instructions below:

    • Open command prompt as administrator and change directory to c:\Program Files\Windows Defender

    • Run "MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures"

    • Run "MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate"

  • Alternatively, the latest definition is available for download here:
