Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+: how to authorize a previously blocked application

Issue

How to allow a previously blocked application, to run on a computer.

What to do

  1. In the Enterprise Console, go to Application Control policy settings.
  2. On the 'Authorization' tab, highlight the application in the 'Blocked' list.
  3. Use the shuttle button to move it back to the 'Authorized' list.

Note: If you previously uninstalled the application from the computer, you must first re-install it, and then authorize it.

For more information about configuring Application Control policy settings, refer to the Network Startup Guide.
