We use AutoCAD and we cannot save .dfx files to our server.  AutoCAD help recommends making an exception for .dfx files in Webroot.  How?
Hi Warren

I think you might be able to create an override as follows:

- Go to the Overrides tab of your console

- Click on "Create"

- Give your Override a name

- Select the radio button for "Path/File"

- Put *.dfx in the File Mask

- If your design files are going to live in a particular area of your server, insert a path, using wildcards and the "Include subfolders" checkbox as required. 

 

You can apply it to a particular policy, or not, as needed. I'd be inclined to leave "Detect if malicious" checked as yes, so any malware that disguises itself as a DXF file still gets picked up. 

 

You may need to do a bit of trial and error with the use of wildcards, and be conservative (e.g. don't use a file mask of *.* and allow all file paths, or else you'll be telling Webroot not to check anything); you want to keep the antivirus powers of Webroot working ok, I assume. 

 

Anyway, I hope that helps

 
Oh, and you'll noticed that file/folder overrides will only work if the Endpoints have version 9.0.1 or higher. If everything is up to date, it should still work - my Endpoints are all at 9.0.4.7 at the time of writing. 

 

If you have Endpoints at earlier versions, and for some reason can't update them, this solution won't work. Sorry.
