Installing Trusted Programs

When you install new programs or updates, Prevx may generate a lot of Events. This is because installation programs write to areas which are protected by Prevx Home.

You can suppress Events when you are installing programs by using the Trusted Installation feature. Trusted installation only applies to the program you choose, and all other security settings remain the same.

Note: Although you do not see the Event pop up messages during a trusted installation, you can still view the details by looking in the Event History.

When the trusted installation has finished, Prevx will activate Events again as normal.

 

How to carry out a trusted installation

  1. Right-click on the Prevx Home icon in the Taskbar, and select Trusted Installation.

The browser window opens.

  1. Navigate to the installation program that you want to trust, and click it to start the installation.
