How to avoid false positive at Dev-Machines

Peter_Krahe · 2023-02-23T09:14:40+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi Community,

some of our colleagues develop in c# and "F-Secure Client Security Premium" (F-Secure Policy Manager) reports "Infektion: Heuristic.HEUR/AGEN.1203560" every time a c# Forms App will be compiled or executed.

A workaround, we use today is a whitelisted folder path for the developing process and a new whitelist filehash after the new app version is compiled and ready to use at production. This process costs every day effort and is not a practical way for the future.

Is there a best practice configuration for this issue?

Thank you
